Not saying they the governments have not tried.
Would we as a nation set in our ways, really allow they the government to pass restrictive laws upon the 1st amendment? We we set in our ways allow the 1st amendment to be amended?

The same can not be said for the 4th Amendment. The Supreme Court said so, to keep me safe. Patriot Act and The NDAA are direct violations of the 4th amendment. I don't care what another person thinks. I can read the amendment and see what they are doing. I'm not an idiot like they wish I was. Did they just take that for themselves, without the peoples approval?

Then the 5th Amendment... A thing of the past. Again, the Supreme Court said so, to keep everyone but you safe. Did they just take that for themselves, without the peoples approval?

The 8th is leaned on constantly in the justice system, with no end in sight as the Police State increases. Did they just take that for themselves, without the peoples approval?


Now, why do we let them highly restrict our 2nd amendment? The one amendment, that protects the above from happening in the first place. Who gave government any rights to the peoples arms? Did they just take that for themselves, without the peoples approval?


The Government v. The Free People.
Owned by Government at all levels? Or do you as an individual actually have any liberty?

I think all journalist should pass background check, a test to show their understanding of journalist and get a license before they are allowed to publish anything in public.

Seriously, do we really want them to poison us with their communist, nazi, extreme reglious or idiotic ideas? Words and ideals killed far more people than guns!!!

We did and most people supported it. Luckily the Supreme Court stepped in and saved us from ourselves.

George W. Bush: Statement on Signing the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002

The moron even noted that it was unconstitutional but he was going to sign it anyway.

A single vote, or the swipe of a pen, has killed more people than either, words or guns.

If the First Amendment had to be ratified today in its present iteration, it wouldn't make it. People would think that it allows too much freedom.

We'd best not touch the First Amendment if we know what's good for us.

The constitution is dead. If we don't fight for our rights we will not have them any more.

What is a journalist? If I have a website "thecoalman news" are you going to require me to be licensed?

In the past publishing/broadcasting was expensive so by default the average citizen would have difficulty reaching the masses. Today you can do it for free with as little as a cell phone and the sky is the limit from there with very little cost especially if you are going to concentrate on text.
