the NRA can pressure these guys because they understand the voting demographics of each district. And these Congressmen are also keenly aware what is important to the voters in their districts.

Outside voices are irrelevant - these politicians, like any politician, will do what it takes to keep their supporters happy.

They don't what you or I think. We are irrelevant to them.
