I don't know if I'd go so far as to call it political suicide. I think the people who actually follow these issues are in the minority. Most of my neighbors would probably be indifferent if they knew of my snake collection. Even my friends who have serious snake phobias are usually ok coming over to visit as long as the snakes are in a cage. It is usually a vocal few who cause problems for us. As public reps, it is their job to protect our rights if we are not interfering with the rights of others. When a bill is introduced on a false premise, it is their job to determine what the facts are before they make a decision. I'm not suggesting that things are or have ever actually been done this way, but it's a nice thought.
