"If the first amendment was treated like the second amendment...."

[Bosco]

Probably a repost but first time I've seen it so wanted to share. Puts things into a perspective that pisses me off.

I would add this: The media would be required a three day waiting period (to get their facts straight) before they could report on a story.

Puts me in mind of a statement by Patrick Henry.

Fake ( from circulated e mails )

It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ!

What he really said

*I have now disposed of all my property to my family. There is one thing more I wish I could give them, and that is the Christian Religion. If they had that and I had not given them one shilling they would have been rich; and if they had not that and I had given them all the world, they would be poor.*

Patrick Henry, Virginia,


I would hope that everyone would intertwine more of the founders documents , maybe we would stat to understand just how united they really were and how much almost all said the same thing in different words.


Same with 1st and 2nd amendments, we really ( most of us ) seek freedom from government. Difference is some of us are willing to work for that freedom.

hopefully these comparisons to the first amendment will put concealed vs open carry into a better perspective for those who choose to belittle and judge those who would rather not pay for there rights by choosing open carry.

Amen

I think OC should be completely common and accepted

But I think more topless beaches in Tiger Pass is more likely.

Still, we never know.

Don't forget having to pay a $200 tax and waiting 6 months for permission to whisper. (silencer laws...)

I appreciate the thoughts and levity of those posting on the subject, but I would contend the First Amendment IS being treated like the Second Amendment, as it is the Government's interest to regulate away the teeth of any Amendment (which along with the rest of the Constitution provide a framework of governmental limitiations). Thus, more power behind the Constitution, less power wielded by the Government/Less power behind the Constitution/more power wielded by the Government.

The difference as I see it is that we have a country laden with apathy and myopic idiots (i.e.: ACLU) who find some parts of the B.O.R. to be more "equal" than others.

I really wish I could laugh at it, because it IS funny. However, I cannot bring myself to laugh, because it's true. Instead, I shall weep for my Constitution going the way of the dodo.
