    Hey.

    The lawful government of the United States of America is overthrown, once every four years. It's called a general election. Every two years some Representatives and some Senators are elected. That's called an overthrow.

    Dont forget the power of a peoples referendum, where we can vote at any time to take them out of office, or repeal a law we do not like

    I don't understand, what is this suppose to mean? Are you saying that when the people decide they want more regulations on guns we should impose more regulations on guns?

    As in this poll:

    CBS News/New York Times Poll. May 31-June 4, 2013. N=1,022 adults nationwide. Margin of error ± 3.

    ​
    "In general, do you think gun control laws should be made more strict, less strict, or kept as they are now?"​
    5/31 - 6/4/13
    ​
    Republicans
    More strict 30% Less strict 22%
    Democrats
    More strict 78% Less strict 02%​
    Independents
    More strict     46%     Less strict 12%​
    4/24-28/13 54 10 33 3
    Republicans
    More strict     35%     Less strict 13%​
    Democrats
    More strict 81% Less strict 05%​
    Independents
    More strict 46% Less strict 12%​
    3/20-24/13​
    Republicans
    More strict 29% Less strict 16%​
    Democrats
     More strict 66% Less strict 02%
    ​
    Independents
     More strict 43% Less strict 15%
    ​
    2/6-10/13
    Republicans
     More strict 25% Less strict 13%
    ​
    Democrats
     More strict 78% Less strict 03%
    ​
    Independents
     More strict 48% Less strict 15%

    So you are that since the people want stricter gun laws we should pass stricter gun laws? I agree.

    What are you talking about? Who said anything about getting rid of guns?

    Yeah, the red necks of old would often tell the hippies to "Love it or leave it" Didn't make any sense then, doesn't make any sense now.

    An election is not an overthrow of a government, or a coup or a rebellion. It is a lawful transition of power.

    Civics 101.

    No, it isn't. Only you call it that. When 90% of these jerks get re-elected, I don't see how you can call it that.
