"Does the phrase "tyranny of the majority" mean anything to you? If not, read the Federalist Papers pronto. "

It means that a small and vocal minority wants to impose its will on the majority of the people.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

It means that a small and vocal minority wants to impose its will on the majority of the people.

Absolutely incorrect. Tyranny of the majority, in the context of the Federalist Papers, means that we as a nation subscribe to a set of core beliefs and values, and that even the rule of a majority does not change these core beliefs and values. That's why the Founders made the amendment process so complex and daunting.

Try thinking about it from a pro-2nd Amendment standpoint and it will make more sense.

Read the Federalist Papers, my friend. This country was founded on Freedom and individual Liberty.
