Real figures are even higher. While they are only counting background checks, should a customer purchase 4 guns, there’s only one background check done. And of course, private sales don’t count too. GARY.

Very revealing that IL is #1.
One of the deep blue states (due mostly to Chicago and the St. Louis metro east area).
Guess they’re starting to get scared of the shit they voted for and all the unrest in Chicago!

Congress listens.

Unfortunately, they listen to lobbyist money.

They may pretend to listen to you and may even support a bill or two that isn't backed by lobbyist money, but that is only to extract money out of the lobbyist who opposes the bill.

When the lobbyist runs out of money, they quit listening to them as well. Then they just do what the party tells them to do because they have the blind support of a third of the voting public just by belonging to one of two parties.

-just because I have overgeneralized it, doesn't mean I'm wrong.
Common Sense... so rare it's like a super power

I was just going to post a "No, they don't." But, I suspect you're right, they listen, just not to the people.
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star.
