You can't have a plebiscite on every issue. Democracy isn't about that. We
elect a government, in the belief that it will do our will, more or less,
during it's term. If it doesn't to your satisfaction, you vote it out, first
opportunity. Referendums are about what the public sees as big issues. What
almost all shooters I speak to seem to fail to see is, that to 'Joe Public'
this wasn't a big issue. I think 'EJ', you owe it to yourself to try to
understand that! (To say the least)They didn't mind the handgun ban. By a
huge majority!
You're saying that 'they're all wrong, because I say so'?
>Will you just keep rolling over until your own life at stake?
I think I've probably had to defend my own life on a hundred more occasions
than you will ever be called upon to do, so don't try to lecture me. You
don't have an inkling, you are merely repeating clich�s.
And happy mediums? Doris Stokes maybe?

Democracy is about having a referendum on every issue, you are talking
about representative democracy. The last MORI poll on the subject
showed the public were largely split on the subject, although it's
fair to say the vast majority probably didn't give a toss.
