Actually that statement is perfectly reasonable in a free society. As is this one and the one which you stated. Freedom is a great thing because it allows us to dissent.

The only dissent that LA would want in civilized society is to allow for is his own.

Please do not misconstrue this to think I support making guns illegal. But I do think that freedom of speech allows for those to make statements in support of that.

Not only that, but they move society forward. The minority is often that which moves the majority forward.

I agree. And that is because the majority often becomes complacent. But in this regard it is the complacent that would allow for government to take our guns away.

Hmm... I think you're reading too much between the lines... All I'm defending is his right to speak his mind. Just as you have a right to speak your mind.

I agree. Not only that, but if you take away our right to bear arms, then our right to free speech might soon follow.

Yep ... while I may disagree with AC's opinion, I fully support his right to express it.

Then you agree with what you have now, and that is; "Treason is freedom of speech"?????????? -- To teach against the "(( Law )) of the Land", is free speech then???

What about deaths caused by drunken drivers?

Do you advocate banning automobiles?

How about airplanes?

How about electrical wiring?

Or natural gas stoves?

How about cooking knives?

How about carrots? did you know that carrots are poisonous if consumed in sufficient quantities?

How about music that preaches violence?

Gangsta rap, heavy metal?

How about thinking?

Wow. It only took 16 pages to accuse someone of being Hitler. New record?
