I know that many red states have passed laws limiting free speech under the guise of "protecting" children. They are censoring books going so far as to threaten librarians if they won't play book police for conservatives. There are state legislatures who are blatant about the "Christian" bent of their legislation.
Keeping certain books out of a school library, especially for middle school and younger children is not an assault on free speech.
Quote:As for the 2nd amendment, wanting reasonable restrictions such as universal background checks, a waiting period, restrictions on people making violent threats having weapons, and restricting high-capacity magazines is not anti-2A. It is using a common sense approach to increasing gun violence recognizing that the words in the amendment were interpreted in a much different way for a majority of its existence and understands that today's weapons can do far more damage than the muskets in use when it was written.
So many talking points crammed into one paragraph. You've certainly learned the script. Universal background checks require a national gun registry. A national gun registry is illegal. Not only that but such registries are already used to confiscate "banned" firearms" Why were they banned, because of cosmetic features completely unrelated. Felons are already prohibited from owning firearms.
What is a "high capacity magazine?" Also, since we're at it, what is an "assault weapon?" "Common sense" if used as something other than a talking point would dictate that we imprison career criminals, who account for the vast majority of gun related deaths. Yet, for some reason, the Dems don't do this, leading to events like the recent murder of a NYPD officer by two career criminals released with no bail.
Also, your last point is blatantly false. The Framers allowed people to own the most modern of military hardware, including actual warships. Everything you regurgitated here is Dem gun control 101, all talking points, zero knowledge and zero substance.
