I have no problem putting a bullet in a tyrantView attachment 273605The United States is a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy – citizens’ rights and protected liberties are not subject to majority rule.Good luck with that. There were an estimated 357 million firearms in this country in 2013, with a population of 317 million. That rounds out to about 113 guns per 100 people, or 1.13 guns per person. And since gun sales have been increasing faster than the population, the divide has likely only massively widened since then.
Now your statistics give a 31% number, which would mean that those 31% own an average of 3 firearms. That's BS. I don't know anyone who owns a measly 3 firearms. Most people in my neck of the woods own anywhere between 10-50.
Someone's math isn't adding up.
Well, then according to your math I guess as little as 2% of the households in the United States own firearms. Or maybe its 10%. Either way, the non-gun owning households have the numbers to change the laws and restrict gun ownership for the smaller minority!
Indeed, Constitutional case law exists to protect the minority from government excess and overreach, to protect the minority from the capricious whims of the majority.
Any part of the constitution can be amended if you get enough votes. That's the reality. The non-gun owning population, at 70% and rising, will at some point in the future, demand these laws and regulations. Its only a matter of time.
Well, your free to try to tell them that if your possession of firearms in the future causes you to be in conflict with the law.
