Differences in priorities

So, the Democrats are poised to pass legislation protecting Americans from predatory credit card practices. Things like not allowing retro-active raises in interest rates to screw people over, or printing "catches" in fonts so small that an average person is not even capable of reading it with the naked eye.

Republicans decided they cannot publicly oppose this due to the political backlash, despite directives from the credit card company lobbyists. So instead they attached an amendment to the law that would allow anyone to carry loaded weapons into national parks. That's right, they actually want loaded weapons always at the ready where people are getting drunk around a campfire, and families are asleep in tents within errant shot range. GOP logic is that if everyone in a national park was carrying a loaded gun (including semi-automatic assault rifles with armor-piercing bullets), we'd all be safer, including from "friendly fire". And best of all, they believe this is the key to protecting Americans from predatory credit card practices.

No, I don't understand Republican logic either.
