“Unless we each conform, unless we obey orders, unless we follow our leaders blindly, there is no possible way we can remain free.”

-Maj. Frank Burns

The Second Amendment is to protect not speech we agree with but speech we disagree with, especially political speech.

I view the Second Amendment as a safety valve like you would find on a pressure cooker. If you disabled the safety valve on a pressure cooker you can expect it to explode. If you restrict or punish free speech you can expect an explosion.

First, the politicians told us there was “too much consumin’ goin’ on out there!”

Now that they have problem licked, the politicians tell us we have “too much free speech.”

Too much travel is also under attack as the politicians try to have us give up ICE’s for EVs on the path to no personal vehicles and the “15-minute city.”
