Daniel, I'm curious why you would want a referendum? Do you perhaps think
you would not win if the accepted process was used?

On the contrary, I think the handgun advocates would not "win."

Win what? If the question is:

Should guns be banned?

I expect the gun lobby would win.


However, if the question is:

Should there be more gun control:

Than I expect America would "win" (ie the gun lobby would loose).

Either way,
I say let the American public decide, not the lobbyists (on both sides) and
not the politicians on their payroll.

Indeed.
