Wait, what?
- jessedhillon 16y agoWell it's to defend ourselves. And you know, I'm hoping that we're not getting to Second Amendment remedies. I hope the FCC will be the cure for the Comcast problems.
- secret 16y agoThe Second Amendment isn't really about self-defense: A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
- juiceandjuice 16y agoI was thinking about how instant mass communication and organization might transcend freedom of speech, and even the right to peaceably assemble. Basically, it's much more potent than pure freedom of press/speech and freedom to assemble, and maybe protected as a means for the organization of a militia (armed or not). Not that it's the correct way of interpreting that amendment by any means, I was just thinking it'd be an interesting point to take on the matter.
- secret 16y agoAh, I get where you're coming from now. Interesting to think how that would work.
- jessedhillon 16y agoI thought more people would get the reference to Sharon Angle's "Second Amendment remedies" quote.
