Ill probably make this its own post but id love to hear a solution to this problem.
Cops busting down everyone's doors and ransacking their home for weapons doesn't seem like something we want. Plus, they will remove minorities defenses first, as usual, if laws get passed.
There really is no solution.
Unfortunately the founding fathers didn't envision the nation having a voting majority of morons who vote in other morons into power, but alas here we are.
But I do think their intentions were for wealthy white landowners to mostly be in control and have checks in place to stop morons from ever having a majority but that crumbled away over a few generations.
Actually, they did. The framers of the constitution didn't trust voters. There's a lot of indications, they thought voters were idiots. I find it hard to argue they were wrong.
Non-voters are just as idiotic as it turns out.
The fool, or the fool who follows?
