No we absolutely cannot. I prefer the American Convention on Human Rights, which states:
The right of peaceful assembly, without arms, is recognized. No restrictions may be placed not the exercise of this right other than those imposed in comformity with the law and necessary in a democratic society in the interest of national security, public safety or public order, or to protect public health or morals or the rights or freedoms of others.
- daenz 6y agoI would love to be a dictator ruling over a country whose protected rights were defined so loosely. You would never get me out of power.
- earthshot 6y agoI, also, wish that you did not live in my country. Unfortunately, we're stuck with a whole bunch of you who don't understand what the Constitution says, and who get really mad whenever you find out that your extremely simplistic reading wasn't actually what it means. Thank you for using such a dumb reductio ad absurdum response to extremely clearly indicate that you're not serious, you're not informed, and that you have absolutely no fucking idea what rights Americans have. I hope that you and the rest of your family enjoy a large in-person Easter religious service.
- daenz 6y agoEver consider pursuing a path in Constitutional law? We would be so lucky to have someone with your wisdom and temperament.

- earthshot 6y agomy first response was not at all inflammatory, it contained a well-sourced definition of freedom of assembly, it was upvoted, and you flagged it too. But you left his nonsensical 'everyone should agree with (my naive and uninformed opinion)' take up. Please don't moderate like that on HN.
