I think you understand it quite well. ( never said you didn't) Without the Constitution all manner of shit can take place. That is including instant democracy. A return to the Crown, all guns confiscated.
But, anything that doesn't go the way of the Royalists, Oh! it's been jacked by the NRA and the gun nut culture. All America wants this. OK. And all Americans of age get to vote for our Congress....hmmm.....the system is the problem.
We must get rid of the system. Re-write. NO. Denied.
If 1/2 the people +1 in 3/4s of the States want guns banned they will be banned. These other effort are just set ups for that. I will be fine with that....even already dead.
But, we never get an answer about the political tools these surveys are. We only get answers around some mob democracy we don't have. We never question the idea of a fruit cake that has already been identified given guns by the Mother. What in the chilly hell can stop that?
Not background checks. It hasn't stopped me getting them, I found them on the road. And about 100 million other guns that are owned can still be given to a known mental defective. Tough luck.
Lucky us with Constitutional guarantees.
Those make even US citizens jealous, those Rights, that they even have themselves.
