Moreover, our system is designed so that any action taken by the federal government should represent the signifigant will of the people within the framework of the consitution. The idea thay the congress has a responsibility to a fringe minority that has failed to gain electoral representation just to support the presidents agenda is asinine.


If he wanted to pass a law he should have convinced the people of the country and thus their representatives that these measures would sofnifigantly reduce violence while preserving the second amendment. Instead we have the emperor writing edicts on his own with the gaul to blame his own lack of leadership for congress not goong along with him. Because we all know john boegner and mitch mcconnel were the champions of hard right conservatism.
