Matters to me a great deal. Apparently it doesn't matter to over half the American voting population-how else can you explain Harry reid, Feinstein, Biden, and Obama receiving as many votes as they did. How many time do have have to tell people what can happen if these people and people like them get elected? How many times must the NRA send out phone calls and letters with warnings and reccomendations every election only to be ignored? Americans are starting to remind me of the Germans who thought Hitler's Gun control Act of 1936 was a good idea. It too was passed as a "common sense gun control act".
You just outlined the very reason it is important to make our voices heard.
Oh, and you've won the Godwin's Law award for the thread.
