As a follow up you might look into HOW they use inner city crime and HOW they get people to give up their guns.

Rarely, if ever, do people vote away their self defense.

Town councils, city managers, county & state, however, love to shut the doors, decide on some new draconian restriction and announce that they have saved innocent lives by taking away (identify curse here).

Only sometimes in the name of reducing inner city or even suburbian crime. Remember that a few years back laws were being passed because of the 'radical right wing militia' (or just Christians in general) menace....see below at "limits on the number of arms...".

Current faves include huge taxes on ammo and components, trigger locks, and, of course, trying to make manufacturers responsible for end-use. Then there are the restrictions on selling ammo within three days, seven days, (whatever) of any big event, limits on how many arms can be purchased in any given time, etc.

How many of those were voted on by the public?

You are right- whatever the gun law/regulation is, we should get to vote on it.
