Restricting governmental bodies from passing resolutions is not restricting the first amendment.

The Bill of Rights is there to protect People from the Government, not to protect Government from the People. *sheesh*

I wish we could simply ignore such stupid people.

The First thing we should do is remove the right to free speech from every person (especially journalists) who promote the Liberal ideology.

Once that has been accomplished, I am prepared to discuss the removal of the Second Amendment, although I don’t imagine there will be much to say on the matter.

[DennisR]

I would say that if we have no second amendment it will not be long until we have no first amendment.

If it weren’t for the Second Amendment, the First wouldn’t be worth the paper it’s written on. The Second is the insurance policy for the First.

The Second Amendment makes all the others possible.

In a column In the Tampa Bay Times, a writer makes the claim that a law to protect the Second Amendment diminishes the First Amendment. It is a stretch. The statute, passed by the Florida legislature in 2011, makes it illegal for local governments to pass regulations and ordinances dealing with guns, gun possession, anything to do with guns.

How about we just enforce the laws already on the books:

18 U.S. Code § 241 - Conspiracy against rights

If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or

If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured—

They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

In Texas, three anti-Second Amendment professors claimed that exercising Second Amendment rights (even while concealed!) inhibited their First Amendment rights.

Haven't you heard? The protections of the Constitution, and its equal rights, only apply to the National Guard. And that First Amendment stuff only applies to *Free Press* publications like shopper newspapers and the internet, not to counterfeiters, child pornographers and seditionists or other money-making commercial schemes.
