Letter: NRA sway?
My real concern is how dysfunctional our Congress is. For every problem, each "side" takes a position, they fight over who is right and who is wrong, they play legislative games, one side "wins," and then the problem goes on being a problem and the citizens are left without workable solutions. Until members of Congress on both sides start working together become willing to compromise, we're left with this dysfunction.

Letter: NRA sway?
Stewart pointed out a widely known statistic. I never said that it was true because he said it

Letter: NRA sway?
And, as Jon Stewart pointed out, 90% of the people were for background checks, the Senate voted 54 to 46 for background checks, and somehow the majority vote loses, thanks to Senate rules that allow minority rule to decide. This vote was shameful on several levels, including many GOP senators' responses to the families of the Newtown victims, telling them to go to "*@#$" or calling them "props" as if they had no right (to free speech) to weigh in on this issue.

And the NRA doesn't really even care about it's members, a majority of which support background checks. The NRA is funded by the gun industry who profit by selling more guns, more guns, more guns.

Lawrence's retail sales up 2.1 percent for first quarter
It's pretty close to the national rate of increase, so it's not just Brownback.
