I don't think the Electorate system is of any use against terrorism.
And it wouldn't even protect the world from Hitler 2 getting elected, considering how little resistance there was against Trump. The electors would as happily vote Hitler into power (if he got the majority of electors) as they did with Trump (especially considering that they both used similar populist methods in ordr to gain power)

Shouldn't one rather talk to the people who don't own any guns in order to find out what the majority thinks? 
There are "just" around 55 million registered gun owners out of a population of 250 million adults, so the majority of US citizens doesn't own a gun.
(even if we take into account that one doesn't need to be a registered gun owner to have a gun at home (after all it could be that it is the spouse or parents to which the gun is registered) it is just 40% of US households which have a gun)
However, the polls are clear ... while there currently is a tiny majority of people who are supportive of the right to own guns, there is also a clear majority who want to have stricter regulations on teh sale of guns
See here:
Obviously your own people are elitists who want to take away the right of mentally unstable or mentally disabled people to freely buy a gun in order to defend themselves
(also you didn't say anything about the restrictions on the purchase of fully automatic rifles, tanks (with working guns), artillery pieces and AA by citizns? Don't you defend the right of citizens to defend themselves if baddies come with tanks, planes or come in so large numbers that you have to spray automatic fire in all directions? )

We don't need tanks to defend ourselves.
