These people, appointed to their positions, some of whom may be predisposed to be anti-gun (for reasons discussed above) are tasked with interpreting the meaning of the Second Amendment to the Constitution so that it must be followed and adhered to by each and every American citizen...

Yup, I guess nothing is black and white...

And democracy truly is an imperfect system of government... but it's the best we have ever found and has been proven to be the most fair to all citizens.

A common misconception - however we are a republic not a democracy Which adds more grey

Which results in many rural areas -upstate New York or Northern California for example - being represented by people selected by high density urban populations, instead of someone who may closer reflect their views


An example of the impact is that nearly all the counties in NY oppose the "safe act". But the 5 bourghs of the NYC support it
