Granted. But note that there is 'harmful speech' that is regulated. That is/was a cost/benefit discrimination.Quote:
I would like to make two points about this "argument of needs," both of which I will explain just a little. First, it's not about "need." The 2nd Amendment is contained in the Bill of Rights, not the Bill of Needs. One of the things to remember with Rights is that they're not necessarily predicated on need, nor are they typically subject to a popular vote. A person with an incredibly unpopular political opinion still has a 1st Amendment right to express it, regardless of how the vast majority of Americans might view that political opinion.
This is very misleading and mostly untrue. Harmful speech is not "regulated".
I can yell "fire" in my living room all day long and the police can not come and arrest me. I can even yell it at the beach and the shooting range.
Words are not banned. It is the inappropriate and dangerous use of them that can be illegal. Inappropriate and dangerous use of a firearm is already illegal, or is made illegal when possible. Simply owning a gun won't hurt a soul. This goes back to one of the "big lies" that gun control groups spread.
