Unlike `state' referendums...federal politicians and governing bodies
(House and Senate, not to mention all the federal `entities' who pretty
well make their own `rules and regulations') do not dare allow `referendums'
to appear on a federal ballot, or the issue of two same-sex sodomites would have
been rejected long ago. As would any attempt to circumvent the Second Amendment.
There would probably not even be as strong a control as there
is right now.

Which is probably why it won't come to that. Because those who are for
stricter and stricter control know they would lose.

Depends on a lot of things. First...they'd have to go door to door going through
violent entry in which many of them would be injured or killed.
And more and more high ranking law enforcement officials are coming out
against it. Insisting people in their jurisdiction arm themselves.
