Wrong. The majority has every right to tell you all these things.
The majority elect your lawmakers who get there mandate how to do things.

No, Sir, you are wrong.
Our lawmakers have no right to overrule the Constitution. This is why every crazy new law they write starts off with declaring that whatever they wish to regulate or outlaw "is in interstate commerce," because our Supreme Court has ruled that the Federal government is allowed to regulate only things that are in interstate commerce. Thus we get such insanity as a person in California who grew his own marijuana for his own, personal use being charged with a Federal drug crime, on the spurious basis that
because he grew his own marijuana in California, he did NOT have to import it from another state and thus he negatively affected interstate commerce.
The only way the "majority" has a right to outlaw firearms is through the process established in the Constitution itself to amend the Constitution. Until that happens, the 2nd Amendment is still part of the Constitution, and it still says "The right of the People to keep and bear arms
shall not be infringed."
