How to pass government bills/laws

When something is good/right you generally know it right away, If you have to be harassed, bullied or bribed to believe in it, and you give in, what does that say about you and the item? Little kids learn at an early age that if the cry or whine long/loud enough some parents give in and set a president that they will regret later, and the kids learn that this approach works. This attitude that crying and whine will get you what you want carries over into adulthood, and look where we are now! Most of these people have ended up in government.
  When a bill or any proposition comes to a vote and does not pass it is slightly massaged and put back up continuously until it passes. No MEANS No! If it can't pass because it makes no sense why are they allowed to keep bringing it back and bulling/bribing  people to support it? Items that don,t make it on their own the first time we should have some recourse if it keeps coming back until it passes.
   What if, when one of these  reoccurring bills pass it is with the condition that if it does not meet all it goals as stated in a year it is automatically repealed?  How much money is spent passing things that don't work? If you bought  an item that did not work as advertised you would return it and expect a refund! You would not let a lot of double talk and " just give it time" stop you.
    It is time to hold our represenitives responsable, they are suppose to do what we want and what is best for us, not what is best for thier "pet" project or "what they think we need". Things the effect us should be pu out for a general vote because some of our representives have made a career out this and feel entitled to do as they see fit.
  They only way to change this is vote! Spend some time and take a real look at canidates and do not vote for some one just because thier name sounds familiar or  your friend likes them, remeber this person has infulence on your future. Tell your represenative to stand thier ground and pass things that stand on thier own merit and not be bullied or bought!

magazine myth

This is just another feel good measure that has no basis in reality. (http://www.ctnow.com/news/ctn-gun-law-debate-0202,0,5311698.htmlpage ) Limiting the amount of rounds in a magazine is not the solution. We have the laws in place to deal with killers and to discourage people from becoming killers but we don't enforce them rigorously enough or swiftly enough. (years spent waiting for trial, more in appeals, never mind the expenese, when there is no question to guilt.  i.e. Chesire home invasion.)
 Part of the problem is people are confused about guns. The media and even some police don't corectly describe what they are talking about. The general public that buy guns, buy semi automatic, which means that only one bullet is fired with each squeeze of the trigger. Automatic means that multiple rounds are fired with each squeeze of the the trigger,and to own a fully automatic you must be fully investigated by the federal government and are subject to complance inspections on use and storage at any time with no warning.
People that report on guns or are interviewed should at least correctly describe the weapon they are talking about, the Hartford CT police chief in this report kept refering to automatic weapons and ammo, not semi automatic which just make people more nervous and distortes the truth.

 If smaller is better/safer maybe we should mandate that cars have a 5 gallon fuel tank. That way if they have to fill up more often maybe they would not drive as much, thus saving gas,cutting down on emission and making our roads safer!
