When did the Political Life of a Politician Trump the Real Life of Gun Violence Victims?

When asked the only answer that you will probably hear from politicians who will not even vote for sensible gun legislation is that it is “political suicide”.  So one can assume that the hundreds of people losing their lives to guns are not as important to politicians. 

At what point did it become acceptable to do less for this nation as a whole and more for those who buy your soul.  The Bible tells us that a rich man has about as much chance getting into heaven as a camel has passing through the eye of a needle yet no one cares.  We all sit around on our backsides and allow politicians to follow the will of the rich instead of following the will of the people.  This anomaly is not only in the gun control debate, it is also prevalent in the immigration debate, war debate and every other political and judicial decision being made in this country and we call ourselves students of the Bible?

I wonder, if these same people who pay homage to the dollar will be able to convince God that they were right to ignore the poor, the impoverished and the less fortunate when they stand before him to answer for their crimes against his people.  The refusal to do all that they can to minimize the evil in this world when they had the opportunity to do so might not be a convincing argument for them when they stand in front of the throne but the most amazing thing is will it be enough for us who sit back and allow all this to happen because we are too busy with our own lives to care about the lives of anyone else?
