Maybe more people would vote before taking up arms?

Voting doesn’t matter. Between the “small state bias” in the electoral college - which has allowed the the President to be chosen without winning the popular vote twice in the last 30 years, gerrymandering which allows Republicans to be over represented in Congress and the continuous erosion of the separation of church and state, the majority doesn’t stand a chance.

You forgot voter registration laws, the fact that voting is done on a regular working day, and the lack of density of polling stations in some areas.
