What weakness of democracy, and how is it that the democratic process required to put the 2nd remedies into action doesn't apply to this weakness?

Neither of us are Ph.Ds in any of this, so I'm going to call your bluff. Please share with me the full weight of your "theory" which states the removal of the 2nd amendment would provide a greater check on the gov't. Also, it'd be cool to hear why the 2nd amendment was not a check on the gov't.
And people can scream until they're blue in the face because I'm not. I respect guns, I own guns, and I respect the 2nd amendment for what it was and is. You seem to think that you have all the facts which show a better world on the other side of 2nd amendment repeal and I have to say I'm confident that you can't back it up. I am willing to devote a lot of time to any resources you present to me on this subject because going in to this exchange I was very willing to be exorcised of these beliefs but I just don't think you can back up your arguments. And when I change my mind, I want it to be on firm ground.
