There is something called the "Curley Effect" wherein elected officials craft policies that are supported by just enough people to keep getting them elected while punishing their political opponents to the point they leave, furthering their future margins of victory while generally wrecking their city/county/state/country. James Curley was a Boston mayor in the early-mid 20th century.

Also of note is how the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada have successfully disarmed their populations. It is almost like they planned for this. /s
