Here’s where the factions stand on guns:
- CDs: Reasonable gun regulations are a logical, appropriate way to protect the community from violence.
- CLs: Gun regulations are an intrusion on personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution.
- PBPs: Not our issue, man. We’ll align ourselves with whatever faction can deliver tax cuts and deregulation for business.
- Reactionaries: Guns aren’t just objects; they’re symbols of our virility, independence, and reverence for tradition. You’ll have to pry them out of our cold, dead fingers.
Since the Reactionaries are the largest faction and the most passionate on the subject, they always win. That is why the GOP has no interest in even the mildest form of gun regulation.
