    Did they have a permit to protest on a public road? Freedom of assembly comes with some perfectly rational stipulations.

      Would you like them to take it to the free speach zone behind the mall?

      I’m sorry I didn’t see the word permit in the first amendment. I’m getting old enough to need glasses. Maybe I should try with them?

      Nope, still no such requirement.

        That’s like arguing exceptions for hate speech shouldn’t exist since it’s not in the first amendment.

          The US doesn’t have exceptions for hate speech. Unless you actively commit a crime while shouting it.

        Didn’t see anything about age requirements in the second but it’s illegal to sell a gun to a kid. Crazy how things work.

          Historically kids have never been afforded Constitutional rights. Which is kind of crazy. Almost as crazy as making the idea of kids owning guns equivalent to the bedrock right of a Democracy.

            Just trying to show that there’s more to the rights in the Bill of Rights than just the text of the Bill of Rights.

          To make it illegal to fight for lives vs. Fighting for right to own a gun are not the same. I guess nuance is not your forte?
