If you take a long enough look at our laws you'll eventually figure out that people are just stupid. It's the same people when you think about it. A judge has no more a rational or intelligent grasp on the world than Amalek. Lawmakers are even worse. Constituents are the youtube commentors of the political system.
In the end we use a system just as dysfunctional as an internet forum to decide when and where people with guns get to shoot at other people who also may or may not have guns.
And then you can come to Voat for a good dose of reality.
