Letter to the editor: Why aren’t leaders giving the majority what they want?

I was thinking: If our government is supposed to be a democracy and a government of the people, by the people and for the people, and according to polls shown on the news, over 80% of the people support background checks on resale of firearms and raising the age to 21 to purchase AR-style weapons, then why aren’t the elected representatives and senators voting for the will of the majority instead of their party and loyalty to the NRA?
