Since the landmark 2008 ruling in DC v. Heller, the courts have recognized what we have always known, namely that the right to keep and bear arms is a specifically enumerated, individual right, on par with freedom of speech and religion. Given this judicial environment, if we allow the government to impose a prior restraint upon the 2nd Amendment, then the 1st is no longer inviolate.

This is my latest column in which I try to point out how hypocritical it is to support the 1st Amendment and still support gun registration.
What do you guys think?

I like the idea. I want the gun-haters to squeal in indignation about THEIR favorite amendment getting raped by Congress.

Back in 2000, one of the people in the company I use to work for fired a warning shot to all people in the group that it was time to limit free speech. He then mentioned that if you speak a political point that you are not free from the consequences of your view point that is contrary to the views of society.
The ironic thing, he is one of the fast track rising stars in the company and he is an executive today !

Sure, let's have the government oversee and control every single little tiny aspect of our lives, so that we have no responsibilites at all. Then it's just all pointless. We become little more than sheep standing around in a field.
Want to know how pointless? Check the suicide rates on this map. Think there's a correlation with socialism and suicide?

I have another interpretation.
Religion.
Places without religion(or the least religion) have the most unhappy people choosing to end their lives.
