Also, a big part of our system is designed to counteract the tyranny of the majority.

But what can you expect from someone who most likely thinks that most of the Founding Fathers were atheists, deists, and worshipped woodland sprites.

This is a REALLY good point. It's also designed to make change difficult, although the Courts and our Government Bureaucracy have done a good job of overcoming that. Gridlock is actually a good thing much of the time.

Yes, the vast majority of people who live in the country bumpkins.
I know there are exceptions.
That being said, the majority of American citizens don’t even know their own history. Don’t even appreciate the sacrifices made by the founding fathers and the men who fought in World War II.
I think we’re all know what we are talking about.
And I think you get my point.

And yet here you are - a supposedly intelligent city dweller - on a gun forum arguing in favor of the wildly ineffective extreme anti-gun legislation that is spreading across the US like cancer to an audience that will never agree with you. Moreover, you're presenting that argument in an arrogant, condescending, tone fueled solely by more of the same tired, political rhetoric that aims to derail rational, pragmatic discussions about the matter by repeatedly clamoring that all of those opposed don't care about all the dead children.

Never heard of a country called bumpkins.
From the tone of the conversation I take it you mean the majority of the people who live in the country are bumpkins?
Please define bumpkins.
If it means someone in the country who doesn't give a shit what city people think, you're right.

Yep. A shotgun, just like Lurch. Too bad he didn't fall on it mouth-first while chasing some clueless jogger.
