The writer says the Second Amendment is outdated. Free speech is outdated?

Why not regulate that as well? You can make a good argument for making sure people don’t say anything stupid.

Its a proposal that won’t pass constitutional muster. For me, the government has no business asking whether I want to own a gun, what I intend to use it for and whether I could keep it.

This proposal reeks of fascism with bureaucrats deciding if you get to keep your RKBA. A freedom that’s a privilege in reality is no freedom at all.

Well, if you have been following the antics going on a lot of college campuses, it has started.

The First Amendment has already been breached. Hate crime laws have been around for several years now and saying the wrong thing can land you in court and jail.
