that would blame the NRA and/or "lax" gun control laws.

Same clowns... different circus.

3. Gun control laws
at least hand gun control laws
ARE lax in many states.


The great majority of Americans want stricter gun control laws, the NRA CLOWN'S,
er, lobby's voice --and yours, it appears-- counts more than all those American's voices.

But hey! Fuck the majority, in a Democracy no less, when you have a powerful lobby, eh?
Ain't it just grand?

4. Tyranny of the majority
So... then you should have no problem respecting and supporting the "majority" of voters in states that passed a Constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage?

What if a "majority" of voters had the power to ban/restrict abortions... limit free speech... restrict civil rights, etc.

That would be okay then because the "majority" approves of it?

Yeah, the "majority" rules concept is lust "grand"... isn't it?

Sorry... I ain't buying it and neither is the NRA.

7. Yep.
What you call "tyranny" we call "democracy".

Majority rules.

If the majority wanted to ban/restrict abortions, limit free speech, etc. I sure wouldn't like it and would work to change the majorities viewpoint
--a legitimate majority mind you, not a Diebold et. al. majority.

Luckily they don't.


How NICE that you think a minority viewpoint should rule all the people. Lemme guess: viewpoints by white, propertied males weigh much more heavily than the general populations, right? White Man's Burden and all that? Father Knows Best?

Yeesh.
Go back to the 1800's where uppity women and people of color didn't impugn upon your superior sagacity.
