If a STATE decides to allow it, that is the WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

that’s the will of mob rule. The tyranny of the majority.

Mob rule; as in "Democracy".

What form of government do you want?

(P.S.-don't quote the "Representative Democracy" rhetoric; that's not the issue).

So long as the MAJORITY are electing the government (as provided by the U.S. Constitution, I might add), then arguing against "mob rule" is a red herring/whole cloth argument.

If the People are not allowed to govern, then you are living in some foreign country, (or one that has eroded from the Founders' principles).
