RE: dTube: How Bad is the University Free Speech Problem?

in #news7 years ago

@davidpakman Glad to see you speaking in defense of the First Amendment. How could you support the 1A, yet have such a negative opinion about the 2A? 2A advocates see an end game where an armed population is a counterbalance against a rogue government that decides to do away with the 1A. This has happened time and again in other countries throughout history where a population's free speech and other rights become suppressed, but because that population is disarmed they cannot fight back against the tyranny. What's your response to that argument?

Sort:  

2A is the law, it doesn't need "support." It sounds like you are saying people with rifles can take down tyrannical government?
