BTW: the only reason you might succeed in obfuscating the relationship
between
democracy and freedom is because revolutionaries, who typically don't have
democracy and want it, equate acheiving freedom with the ability to set up
democracy. Revolutionaries want the freedom to use democracy to do things
like
ban guns or not ban guns, depending on the wishes of the democratically
elected
leaders.
