When will our voices be heard? 91% of us have spoken for better gun control and many we put into office are?

90% of americans want it.

90% of democrats voted for it.

90% of republicans voted against it.

Your question is open-ended and devoid of substance. I can control my gun just fine. There must be at least 91 people in whatever group that you speak for who have never had to worry about protecting their family from people who don't care about your stupid legislation.

Around 90% of people support the general idea of background checks, but only around 40% support any new gun laws. And there were no opinion polls conducted asking if people supported this particular bill.

They are listening, but they write lousy legislation, and then those bad bills fail.

It isn't as though they aren't trying, they just can't agree what it is that constitutes the INCREDIBLY vague request for "better gun control" means.

This is no different than people wanting the deficit reduced....but never agreeing on a single dollar to cut.

What do you mean by "us"? Do you mean 91% of people that answer phone surveys? 91% of people that answered a survey on msnbc? You can't even get voter turnout up to 91%. Admit it, your numbers are skewed due to poor sample selection of "us".

Congressmen have access to much better information than the drivel the media allows the public, obviously the 91% figure is wildly inflated and they know it. They know that if they vote yes on one of these bills it's the end of their careers.

That percentage you quote was the result of a completely bogus poll where 1400 registered Dems mostly in anti-gun states were called.

I doubt it was 91 percent. It was likely Obama and a few Democrats riding on "hope and change."

Obama promised hope and change. he lied to you. The bill is dead and guns will continue to be sold in record numbers. That is just a fact.

Vote. There can't be more crazy than sane people.
