I do too. The burden is on the government to prove that the infringement is necessary.

The government simply needs to create a registry of award recipients so that the public can verify such claims.

Any funds needed to create and maintain such a registry can easily be obtained by shutting down the BATFE and its infringing registries of various arms.

I disagree with the ruling because free speech does not protect fraud. He lied about being a soldier and receiving the medals/awards just so he could solicit funds and defraud people of money.

So I guess all the laws that prohibit a person from pretending to be a judge, an attorney, a congressman, or a cop, for the purpose of soliciting funds and/or benefits should also be struck down??

Fraud is fraud and should be illegal.
