You want people to be required to get a PERMIT from the GOVERNMENT at a fee to exercise their first amendment rights? Did you think that out before posting?
Its what I had to do to freely and legally exercise my 2nd amendment rights. How do you justify idiots like this being able to print and say anything that they want to with no regard for the aftermath?
The 2nd amendment is the only one that specifically says it shall not be infringed upon, so registration of all people who wish to have a printed opinion should be subject to fees and registration in the same manner. So we know who these idiots are who spew crap from their pie holes.
We have data bases full of names of people that are banned from exercising their 2nd amendment rights for any number of reasons.
Yet we allow idiots like this to intentionally lie and deceive through the printed word with impunity.
Why arent journalists registered and kept track of the same way that gun owners or child molesters are?
