 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.
