Of all the companies that form the Military/Industrial Complex, General Dynamics is one of the very largest, and most important and powerful. They are substantial contributors to the political parties as are their company officers.

If General Dynamics wants this, then no one in the Republican Party will do anything serious to stop it. They won't go beyond posturing.

Not accurate and too cynical. GD has been taken to the carpet many many times and this line of business is of little consequence to their bottom line. All republicans need to do is console them that there will be no repercussions to their larger business and they will walk away from card making.
