process for their purposes. I have a problem with all authoritarians and illiberal ideas, be it from the left or right. I also have a problem with the dishonest means that the paid signature collectors used, like falsely claiming that it was to repeal the food sales tax. The ends never justify the means.
As liberals and Democrats, we are supposed to be for the poor, working, and middle classes. If that means defending the 2A along with the other BoR from billionaires, fascists, and Marxists, so be it.

purpose...which is what? Seems their purpose is the public purpose as well.

Why is the NRA so afraid of the voters having a say in a simple proposition?

Most people don't. Because said billionaires will money bomb the airwaves with emotional laden propaganda. As the video shows, Paul Allen pulled over a million out of his pocket, just like Bloomberg pulls 80 million dollars out of his pocket to buy politicians. In the long term, the billionaires will lose. SAF etc have facts and reason on our side, which in the long term, beats out the logical fallacies, emotion pleas, and outright lies gun control activists push.
Tell you what, I'll take on any gun control advocate in a debate. One with two moderators. One moderator biased towards gun control will ask me the questions, while the pro gun moderator will ask the pro control questions.
Why are anti gun types afraid of open and honest debate?
