Equal opportunity for bills

[MasterOfNone]

We continually hear about bills dying in committee or in calendars and never making it to the floor. This seems like this system has great potential for suppressing the voices of the people by controlling the opportunity to have their will voted on.
Would it be practical to have a rule that guarantees each representative to have at least one bill discussed on the floor each session? I'm sure the purpose of the "screening" process is to make the legislature more efficient, but it seems like if the representatives of a district present (in theory) something his constituents want, it should be heard.

Like your idea but it has two chances - slim and none. Read what Charles Cotton has written about the power of the House Speaker and committee chairs in earlier posts.

Also look at how many bills each already has, and look at it in respect to the big picture in the legislative session. Every 2 years is all we have to get everything done, and gun rights laws aren't generally at the top of the list. Not that that doesn't provide the opportunity for bills to be lost in the shuffle or get slipped into a deadly holding pattern. If there really was that many people that felt it was that important that they made their voices heard, you'd see them getting more attention. It doesn't matter how important it is to you or I, we are only 1 voice.
