Would US libs support pure democracy state by state?

In the more liberal states you would be able to completely end the 2nd amendment and only the state would be allowed to have guns. You would be able to legalize gay marriage, partial birth abortion, set prices, raise the minimum wage, increase welfare, "free" healthcare.... You would be able to do whatever you want in liberal dominated states that could get the majority vote for liberal beliefs.

The catch is not all states are liberal majority so you would have some states that would legalize the 2nd amendment, ban abortion, due away with the welfare state, and let the free market control the private sector.

Bailouts would not be allowed. You would not be able to get the other states to pay for your policies unless the majority in that state voted to bail you out

Update:

@gintable, I understand that. The question is would libs rather live in a pure democracy state by state. They seem to like the idea of passing unconstitutional laws based on polls, as long as those laws fall into their belief system.

Update 2:

@Budanatr, or you could go to North Korea.

    They're all under the impression that these guns being on the market is the problem. When in reality, the real problem is the crazy shooters and criminals who will never stop illegally getting their guns. The term "assault weapon" was fabricated by anti-gun advocates to label these rifles as being too dangerous for citizens, when the fact is, they aren't. Libs and dems are trying to change how the constitution is interpreted, and will never be happy until all guns and the second amendment are completely erased from this earth. But don't let them get you down, they're wrong, and more citizens are for guns rather than against them. Citizens aren't the ones who pull these shootings. Its either an insane person who took a gun from another gun owner who did nothing wrong, or an insane person who purchases and passes the background check because they haven't been reported as mentally ill. Even a ban on these "assault weapons" happens, criminals won't give a darn, as usual. And crazies will just take guns from other gun owners. Instead of punishing citizens for fear they THEY will pull the shootings, we need to punish the insane people and ban THEM from GUNS. And we need to crack down on these criminals. They will never stop getting their hands on weapons, including automatic weapons that are prohibited by federal law, but they don't care obviously. Gun bans will only apply to citizens, not criminals. Our four fathers knew whoever had the guns, would have the power, so keeping the citizens powerful while keeping the criminals under pressure and the crazies in the looney bin, will make the US a better place to live where citizens can enjoy their gun rights, and won't be held responsible for the actions of one monster.

    The trouble with liberals is just that they know so much that isn't so.

    The Liberal ideology is a theory , fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and which holds forth beliefs that have no basis in reality.

    They are Advocates of a policy that empowers a strong federal government to enslave its people with a high tax burden incident to the support of extravagant and unnecessary social programs destructive to both the work ethic among the lower class, and the incentive to innovate and succeed among the working class.

    "When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic."

    Liberals like to spend other peoples money!!

    The right wing dream country you are describing is called Somalia. Move there. You can have all the guns you want of any sort and you can shoot anyone you want, it is totally free market. There is barely a government to interfere with you, there is no welfare. It is perfect for you and all your right wing friends. Go.

    We long ago ended the true structure of America as a union of separate states. Lincoln, a republican, actually put the nail in the coffin.

    The USA is not a democracy, it is A REPUBLIC.

    Nobody wants a pure democracy. Pure democracy means tyranny of the majority.

    Stop whining about the f--king second amendment! No one has proposed an amendment to repeal it and no one will.

    Every state is a representative democracy so there is no point to the question.
