“Guns are NOT a major issue in America. Our moral and economic decline need to be addressed.”
I understand what you are saying. However, I disagree with your assessment of the situation.
Guns are a pivot point that represent adherence to the Constitution and limited Government. Nearly everyone can understand the clear guarantee of the Second Amendment, and cut through the MSM propaganda to realize that the Constitution is being attacked.
In 1994 this issue,combined with health care, won the congress for Republicans for the first time in 40 years. They put through some important reforms before they were beaten back by the efforts of the MSM.
People need a standard that they can easily understand. Guns and the Second Amendment are that standard.
