Money does run things it is true, but you still need to get re-elected and the populace in the US would not re-elect anyone that goes against what they see as their fundamental rights.

Individual Americans have had a legally recognized constitutional right as individuals to have guns since 2008. Before that they had to be part of a well regulated militia to exercise such a right. When the SCOTUS by a vote of 5-4 said individuals have that right, reversing multi generational precedent somehow folks thought they always had that right, which they did not.
