Yep, you walk into a store and buy a gun. Sorted.
Alternatively you can stand in a line at a polling station for hours in the pissing rain & freezing cold, only to get finally turned away when it closes. That's assuming there even is a polling station in your predominately black district. Or, having managed to vote for (D) you find it "magically transformed" into a vote for (R) instead.
Hell yeah. Bill's got a point.
' A great democracy does not make it harder to vote than it does to buy and assault weapon' ?
A Constitutional Republic is a government created and controlled, at least, by the Law of a Constitution. The Constitution of the United States of America is, in Law, foundationally based on the Magna Carta, and The Declaration of Independence. Those documents recognize man’s sovereignty, the divine nature of man’s creation and man’s divine right to Life, Liberty, Property, and the pursuit of happiness.
Democratic republic — a republican form of government where the country is considered a "public matter" (Latin: res publica), not a private concern or property of rulers, and where offices of states are subsequently, directly or indirectly, elected or appointed - rather than inherited - where all eligible citizens have an equal say in the local and national decisions that affect their lives. Sometimes self-proclaimed democratic republics really aren't: examples include the old so-called German Democratic Republic (East Germany) and the Democratic Republic of North Korea. There are or have been others. Governments are evidently allowed to label themselves however they desire, and sometimes they are known to take advantage of this fact to present a better face to the world.
