[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Tom: [QB] But Whitestar, the gun issue is just one issue among many. Because of the nature of the American two-party politics, a vote against guns is, generally speaking, also a vote for a more liberal ideology, for abortion, and against massive tax and spending cuts. A vote for guns is, generally speaking, also a vote for a more conservative ideology, for capital punishment, and for less government-involvement in the lives of the individual. The problem with the multi-tiered American democratic system is that a majority of Americans might want lower taxes and therefore elect a predominantly Republican Congress. In that very same election, a majority of Americans might also elect a Democrat president who fights for gun control. Unfortunately, that gun control can never be realized so long as the Congress will vote partisanly in accordance to the Republican Party's policy of backing prio-gun special-interest groups. The problem with the United States is that issues of citizens rights are tied into political ideology too deeply, and that inhibits change. [/QB][/QUOTE]
