56. Just a few points and issues

When we say:

All of our rights, even the ones enumerated in the Bill of Rights, are restricted. You can't shout "Fire!" in a crowd. You can't threaten to kill the president. You can't publish someone else's words as your own. We have copyright laws and libel laws and slander laws. We have the FCC to regulate our radio and television content. We have plenty of restrictions on our First Amendment rights.

...what we mean is these acts are against the law and you may suffer legal consequences for them.

I have a pet peeve about the very term "gun-control" because the only real control in the world is self-control. Referring to laws as "gun-control" has infected the thinking of the general public that these laws actually control something. They don't. Control is a myth. Why is it we don't call laws against murder "murder control"?

I suggest we move into the 21st century where an internet video can teach you to repair your clothes dryer, change your disc brake pads and build a full-auto rifle. Using archaic and inaccurate terminology in attempts to collect the thoughts and will of the people on an important topic only serve to confuse the issue and impede bringing any priorities to their legislators attention.

An exception to the 1A is prior restraint: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prior_restraint

...is censorship imposed, usually by a government, on expression that prohibits particular instances of expression.
...
In some countries (e.g., United States, Argentina) prior restraint by the government is forbidden, subject to certain exceptions, by a constitution.

My view of the RKBA is that it is a logical consequence of the universal right to life in that a right to life implies a right to self-defense. I find it amusing that many refer to "frontier justice" and "lawless old West" saying that without laws on buying and carrying guns, it would be like the OK Corral. Tombstone, AZ in 1881 had gun control and restrictions on carrying in town which, in fact, was the cause for the famous shootout.

The more things change, the more they remain the same and, regardless of what may be demonstrated by the events of the day, lots of folks are seemingly unable to learn anything.
