I don't believe they support the bad guys, I think myself it is more like GNU said. They saw so many stupid meaningless gun laws passed that now they dug their heels in and fight any gun law even those that would make all the sense in the world. Somewhere we gotta address the root of the cause of illegal firearms and starting where they are most prevalent. But alas I am not in office and anyone in office that tries seems to get labeled against the constitution.   It is all a cluster fuck actually
