but they don’t want that because it takes away from their wedge issue.

Who is "they" in this case?

Republicans and Democrats. They both require wedge issues to keep us divided and easily steered.

Yep. Republicans don't give a fuck about gun rights, they just use it as a wedge issue. The same for the dems on abortion, they could have solidified roe into law a good number of times now, but they didn't because it's a wedge issue that got votes. Even RBG said the roe was a weak verdict to be holding up abortion rights.
