Congress Votes To Do Nothing

90% of Americans wanted universal background checks, the NRA didn't.  The NRA won and America lost.  Money in politics is the biggest threat to our democracy.    Lobbyists bearing barrels of cash overturn and twist commonsense regulations and laws in gun control, finance, energy, food production, pollution, taxes and defense.  Our government works not for the masses but for the few with masses of money.
