[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Tom: [QB] The gun thing really illustrates the problems with democracy in the US. A significant majority (don't make me go searching for poll numbers) want more restrictions, and yet there have been none. Why? Because a handful of special-interest-groups have a stranglehold on one of the two political parties. Two-party politics on a triple-tier system invariably means no changes can be made unless everybody holding a placard for on against something has been appeased first. In Canada, we have five-party politics or what is pretty much a single tier. Maybe not as "democratic" as Americans believe their system to be, but at least a handful of backwater tumbleweeds haven't stopped us from placing "freedom from fear" above "freedom to bear arms."
