    That’s because you have a limited view of the world based on your circumstances. You, like most of us, don’t understand other people’s needs aren’t the same as yours.

    Therefore, we should make sure that everyone has a voice when decisions are being made. The tyranny of the majority is a dangerous thing. Unfiltered mob rule is no way to construct a society.

        Certain firearm restrictions are an example. Nobody living in downtown Chicago needs a high-powered rifle in their home. So according to many people owning them should be outlawed.

          Most people just want common sense regulation on guns, not an outright ban, and it can be more specific to cater more strict regulation potentially depending on density.

            So what you’re saying is that a one-size-fits-all solution isn’t realistic, but we should have a national government that’s not designed to give voice to those who live in less-populous areas and therefore have different needs than those in High-population areas?
