You are correct not to be surprised. A lot of politicians have finally figured out that gunowners, as a group, are some of the laziest, most apathetic voters out there. More potheads show up on Boston Common for their weed rallies than have ever showed for a pro-gun rally. I've done some volunteering/informal advising for a former Republican MA State Rep. A lot of times he would receive just a small handful of calls/emails/letters from constituents when anti-gun bills would come up. On two or three different occasions I tried getting enough people for a pro-gun fundraiser/meet your rep night and got nothing but crickets.
We can beat our chest sand scream "muh rights!" but unless gunowners can get organized and start throwing these politicians out on their asses on election day we simply won't figure in the political calculus.
