There's this slight impediment called, "The Constitution".

Another impediment: I swore an oath. You'll have to get past me and my gun -- unless you convince me that messing with it is really the right thing to do.

Do you choose that hill?

The Constitution started out with only land owners being allowed to vote.

I swore an oath.

As did I and I suspect quite a few others. (And a handgun or rifle is the very, VERY lightest tackle I ever taught to use...)

Re the note about Landowners only holding voting rights...true, but modified by Amendments, Laws and common practice (i.e. common sense) and therefore kinda specious.

You'd have to shop around a whole bunch of judicial talent before you'd even get a chuckle out of that point, MHO.
