The bolded is not a bad thing in the eyes of many Americans. In fact gun control laws have become less popular with newer generations. For example, in the 1950's the majority of Americans supported hand-gun bans, today only a very small minority (like 20%) support handgun bans. Not all Republicans oppose state-recognized same-sex marriage, and many are forfeiting that issue. Abortion is a different story, but that is a heated and controversial topic. Abortions have become stigmatized culturally, and even with outright bans fewer and fewer doctors are doing them. It seems to me that these perspectives are quite consistent with the beliefs of Americans. For that matter, Republicans are properly representing their constinuents.
