#WhenYouCan'tBeBipartisan
Sean Duffy of Wisconsin, a Tea Party Favorite, to Leave Congress
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/26/us/politics/sean-duffy-resigns.html
"Mr. Duffy’s decision to leave midway throughout his fifth term comes on the heels of several other Republican lawmakers announcing they will not seek re-election in 2020. They have publicly cited various reasons, including a desire to spend more time with family. But in private conversations, many Republicans acknowledge a list of reasons that make the prospect of another run unappealing: a bleak outlook for reclaiming the House, the doldrums of life in the minority and the prospect of sharing a ticket with Mr. Trump and being asked to answer for his every comment and policy pronouncement."

Replace "land" with "guns" and you may have a "road to Damascus" moment of clarity...
Trump Tells Aides ‘Take the Land’ as Impatience Grows on Border Wall
"'There is no more constitutionally permissible public purpose for eminent domain than national defense,' said a current administration official who was not authorized to speak on the record about the contracting process."
So if mass shootings become a "national defense" issue ( an easy sell IMHO )...
