      Certain firearm restrictions are an example. Nobody living in downtown Chicago needs a high-powered rifle in their home. So according to many people owning them should be outlawed.

      But someone living in rural areas may legitimately need firearms for hunting, dealing with predators or hogs, or self-defense because the nearest law enforcement is 30 miles away.

          So what you’re saying is that a one-size-fits-all solution isn’t realistic, but we should have a national government that’s not designed to give voice to those who live in less-populous areas and therefore have different needs than those in High-population areas?
