“A pseudo-democratic government that allows its people too much freedom is better than one that chooses safety over freedom.”
Freedom would imply actually giving the population what they want regardless of whether or not it goes against the ancient document. In California, they used the Constitution to overturn Prop 8, which was voted in by popular vote. How is that protecting freedom?
If people want better gun-control, which I believe they do, they shouldn’t have their votes silenced by the NRA touting the constitution.
