"Democracy isthe rule of fools by fools." Strongly disagree.
I believe it was Winston Churchill who said it best, "Democracy is the worst possible form of government... except for all the other forms of government."
Churchill would've been laughed at by the founders, but he was just an alcoholic with aBritish problem. Look at his country, now. Try OC'ing in his "democracy" and see what happens.
The foundershated three forms of government more than any other: monarchy, oligarchy, and democracy.
The word democracy didn't become fashionable until the progressive era, which yielded bozos like Woodrow Wilson and FDR, and of course, the sainted Churchill. It was during this era that gun control morphed from a local, racist-based version to a national indescriminate type involving Treasury agents (BATF) and other centralized nonsense.
When you blow off the constitution for modern cult ideas like democracy that's what you get.
