Or ignore what they want and do what needs to be done. Oh, wait. Politicians don’t ignore the wishes of donors.

Thing is, public opinion is not going to fall in favor of a ban, especially not as the initial flare of outrage over Newtown begins to cool. They may not want to continue the status quo, but they are not going to support any sort of ban. Sometimes it’s about what you can get done, not what needs to be done.
