January 5, 2016

Last month, Quinnipiac University asked Americans whether they support a law requiring background checks for sales at gun shows or online. At least 84 percent of every one of 15 subgroups — including Republicans, men, gun owners and people living in rural areas — said “yes.”

1. But those "people" that were polled are nothing compared to the campaign cash by corporations

Including Republicans, men, gum owners and people living in rural areas.

2. Okay, seriously do you think Congress cares what people think?

It was even higher after Sandy Hook, what did we get done then? I don't know what it's going to take for folks to understand that Congress is OWNED by corporations. They DON'T care what people want, think, or need. It would make your life a lot easier if you just stopped believing they care, they damn sure don't.

3. Unless that 84% can collectively

Come up with larger bribes, errr campaign contributions, than those who already own all the right side of the aisle and some of the left, this sorry excuse of a Congress will never even acknowledge that such a poll exists.

7. It appears that the money provided by the NRA is more important than 84% of Americans.
