One of the riddles of American democracy is why the will of the people cannot translate into law when it comes to regulating guns.
Polls show a majority supports tighter background checks on gun purchases and limits on semi-automatic assault weapons and high-volume ammunition clips and magazines. And yet, even after the carnage in Newtown, two rampages at Fort Hood where both shooters bought guns at a store named Guns Galore and the daily toll of handgun deaths from homicides, accidents and suicides, Congress cannot be moved to strengthen gun laws in the slightest.
