So called legal or "law abiding" gun owners

So called?

Now, that's interesting.

Yes - because many or most gun injuries and deaths are performed by
people who 5 minutes before-hand were "law abiding".

Democracy is the rule of the majority.

Why, yes it is. In a democracy, the majority is free to run
roughshod over any minority it chooses.

Is that your ideal?

Most people's ideal would be that the actions of a minority do not run
roughshod over the majority.

And I would hardly call the body of citizens in the US that constitute
gun owners a minority.
