You are confusing true democracy with representative democracy. In true democracy you can put to a vote that all women shale submit to the will of men. Democracy rules right? No, you MUST have respect for basic human rights. So we have a system of democracy WITH respect for basic human rights with the hope that the courts will get it right.
That is where we are with the Parker/Heller case right now. DC voted into office elected officials who, as representatives of the public, put into effect (in my opinion) draconian gun laws. The platifs in DC have asked for a redress of their grievances claiming that their basic human rights have been wrongly taking away from them. Now it is a battle in the courts and SCOTUS will have the final word.
This is a wonderful country we live in where such perceived wrongs can be addressed in a peaceful way.
