American politicians are elected by the American people but are control by special interests groups.  America democracy is base on fear which wars are fought  influencing America's democracy around the world ask the NRA they control most of the the republican politician and some Democrats.

" LaPierre was pleading with members to donate to a “war chest” to deal with a “full-blown legislative assault” by “gun banners,” he himself donated nothing to the NRA’s Political Victory Fund, the group’s political action committee. He again gave nothing to the PAC in the 2008 election, despite  his claim that Obama would confiscate hunting rifles and “ban use of firearms for home defense” (a charge Politifact.com labeled “intentionally dishonest”). " LaPierre, who has signed off on scores of fundraising appeals to NRA members to help defeat “gun-hating politicians” and elect lawmakers endorsed by the NRA, has also elected not to contribute to those campaigns. His last contribution to an NRA-backed candidate was a whopping $500 back in 2002."

Politicians must choose us the American people or them the NRA and special interest groups.  Politicians must choose America democracy and value human life over death blood ,guts  and gun lobbies.
