But even if it wasn't a joke, who cares? Should the government tell you you can't speak unless you tell them why you want to and what you're going to do with your speech? How about this: you can't vote until you prove you are responsible enough to vote? I know, you can only be protected by the 5th Amendment when you submit a form with the FBI and they do a background check on you. This stupid "ooh, guns are so serious we have to treat them like a bomb ready to go off" is crazy. They are protected by the Constutution THE SAME WAY as all our rights-even more than the other rights actually, since it says "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED"-which means not even a tiny bit of that right around the edges can be taken away. Yet people like you, Bionic, can't wait to destroy a large part of what has kept us free from foreign invasion and internal tyranny. You are so frightened and myopic you can't see the value in it, so it must be banned. It must suck real bad having 0 testosterone level and live in liberal fear of a God-given right in a country where the vast majority still believe in it. Liberty is sooooo scary to those incapable of self-sufficiency and you show it with every anti-gun post. There, no anger or hate, just plain truth. I guess that makes me evil or something in today's America.
You live in your own twisted fantasy world of paranoia mantis. No, the 1st Amendement shouldn't protect an individual who uses words to incite harm on others. So it's OK for some whacko to claim he wants to kill Obama because he hates his politics?We shouldn't protect our government officials from some nutjob because they disagree with their policies? When someone claims we should "Shoot anyone who look like Bin Laden", you should feel VERY concern, whether they may be joking or not. Were the two kids that committed the Columbine killings "Just voicing their disdain for their fellow students and their hate of the world and that school"? How about the maniac in the Colorado theatre shootings? Come on, he was just ticked about another Batman movie coming out. Too bad there were innocent people killed when he decided to trash a movie theatre with a few hundred rounds.
"Free from foreign invasion and internal tyranny"? We're free from foreign invasion due to the billions we spend on our military. We TRAIN those individuals on how to protect this country from any type of foreign invasion. You apparently sit around and watch the movie Red Dawn WAY too many times. As far as "internal tyranny", you sound like those buffoons that signed all these secession petitions. We don't live in the 1800's anymore. We've become a more logical, compassionate, and intelligent society. Most of us don't have some mortal fear of our federal government to the point we think we need to use violence to deter their actions. Since the Civil War, we've always handled our disagreements through the Power Of The Vote. Don't like what some politician in Washington wants to inact into a law, vote them out. Your ideology thinks we need to just storm the walls and shoot our way out of our disagreements. You're letting your "testosterone" overload your mouth. You can talk big all you want how you could "take arms against our tyrannical government". All that does is get you killed.
