First hand lesson about constitutional rights, First Amendment. Better than any history book they could read or video they could watch!

Gonna need you to be consistent. If you’re in support of their unalienable Constitutional right to free speech, then you fully support their Constitutional right to self defense, once they’ve met the state and federal age requirement to live on their own. Correct?
-
Sure, but consistency goes both ways. Surely you'll recognize every 1 of the Bill of Rights has exceptions (e.g., can't yell "Fire!" in a theater, can't stop and frisk w/out probable cause, etc.). You certainly recognize the 2A is not impervious to restriction?
-
Fair enough. Just like we have the unalienable right to bear arms, but don’t have the right to threaten or kill people with them.

This obviously was a planned
@TheDemocrats anti-2A campaign rally. Luring kids out of school to parade them around for mainstream media, feeding them the lie that gun control will keep them safe. It won’t, It’s a FALSE sense of security. utterly shameful & disgusting to watch.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
