Okay. Then average Americans are ignorant and don’t want to learn.
To be fair, even if they have the right information and frameworks, there's still a lot that's ingrained against using it. For example, what would happen if (a) your state constitution flatly prohibited the state from making gun-laws [see ND's Constitution; Art 1, secs 1, 20, and arguably 21], (b) a state law prohibiting firearms in, say, a bar, and (c) the citizen violates the state law to make a case against it under the state constitution? (I've been told by several lawyers that you have to break the law in order to challenge its legitimacy, therefore making you implicitly acknowledge that law's authority and forcing you to argue from a point of weakness.)
How many people have the wherewithal, the resources, and the conviction to make such a stand against the system?
