Elon Musk on the Bulwark of First & Second Amendments in America
AmmoLand ^ | December 4, 2025 | Dean Weingarten

Posted on 12/09/2025 4:31:21 AM PST by marktwain

Elon Musk has restated why the First and Second Amendments exist in the United States.  On November 29, 2025, from X.com:

 And this is why we have the first and second amendments in America. 

Elon was reacting to a story out of the United Kingdom. British police harassed a British subject who had dared to hold firearms while in Florida,  and then post images of him doing so on his LinkedIn account.

According to a Daily Mail article:

The 50-year-old said he offered to prove that the pictures had been taken in the US – where owning or shooting guns are perfectly legal. Officers told him it was not necessary. 

A week later on August 23, the officers returned and arrested him on suspicion of possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and another allegation of stalking related to a photograph of a house that appeared on his social media.

Mr Richelieu-Booth was held overnight in a cell before being interviewed. He was then released on bail until October.

He claims police visited his home three more times before the charges against him were dropped.

Mr. Richelieu-Booth reported that his computers and telephone were seized by police, which made it impossible for him to work. Mr. Richelieu-Booth is an IT consultant. The charges were eventually dropped. While he never faced trial, the process was a considerable punishment. Mr. Richelieu-Booth was arrested, jailed overnight, and rendered unable to work for weeks because he posted images of legal activity online. The police say they were responding to a complaint from a person who had seen the images online and felt threatened.

Tombstone banned carrying guns in town and attempt to enforce it led to the OK Corral.

Ah, yes, the crappy cop’s favorite saying: “You can beat the rap but you can’t beat the ride”...

Yep ... when public servants set themselves up as judge, jury, and executioner, they become public enemies.

Its harassment meant to scare others from similar behavior.

He was a typical liberal wuss... I’ve run into a bunch of them since I retired from the Marines.

“And by die on, you are willing to risk something: your money, time, reputation, job and maybe your life.”

Our founding fathers risked all of that in order for us to have a BOR. Apparently, value has a different meaning to you than to me. If you’re not willing to take risks, what does “value” mean? Musk has the opportunity to truly show his value of the BOR by setting an example on his own platform and chooses not to.

OK. I ask because a surprising number of these critters will go on ad nauseam about all the horrible things they believe they would do if they had a gun ... therefore nobody should have a gun. They're total nutcases; they project their insanity onto the rest of us.

The Muslims are part of the EU agenda.

“punish you for non-crimes”

Common in the US as well as Great Britain. Exercise freedom of speech at the Capitol. Arrested, thrown in jail.

Back when I was in IL speak out against the machine as Mike Baretto did: Execution or
maybe just suggest a variation as Ben Lewis did: Execution.

Let’s not forget the first part of the first Amendment. Freedom of religion. That’s trampled on often. Without it, the rest of the Amendments fall like dominoes.

***************************************************

Second. Amendment. Is. Most. Important.

Without the means to fight back everything else is subject to whims of government.
