TS, did you you read Denise's post? He said, and I quote "And did you have to have special paperwork to purchase those firearms or did you simply to to a store and buy them and take them home as I can do." MGYAFS.

And that is the problem! Any a$$hole can buy a gun by simply going to a store and buying one. No background checks, waiting period. or anything. No wonder Republicans suck up to the NRA and take their "donation" monies.

Yes hiawatha, I know what you were doing. But I never have claimed yelling FIRE in a theater was acceptable or even legal. Your concept of my interpretation of the First Amendment is completely wrong.
Of course Covid came into play when groups were banned from exercising their rights. My comment is that is not right. The Constitution does not say, When Covid or any other reason exists to allow the government to take away the rights of We the People it is acceptable.
I post to you because you seem to accept the taking away of Constitutional Rights IF it suits the purpose of the government. But those rights, your rights too, are not there to be taken away by anyone, especially not the government which can be tyrannical as is the Biden government.
Correct me if I am wrong but you DO support the Left Wing Socialist government don't you?

Denise, you obviously didn't read my entire response. I quote, "Authorities may also prevent or stop gatherings that pose other immediate threats to public safety." So you say, "let the people gather and COVID be damned." Very self serving. I vote Democrat, especially since Trump implemented "trickle down" economics, which didn't work for Reagan either, but it sure made corporations and wealthy Republicans happier than hell while significantly increasing the National Debt by 7.8Trillion. https://www.propublica.org/article/national-debt-trump
"How do you forget the right to peacefully assemble is also in the 1st Amendment? Covid does not eradicate that or any other Amendment. How do you not give a shit, these are not just my rights or those of Conservatives but your rights also." Violence or the threat of violence isn't the only limit on the right of assembly. Authorities may also prevent or stop gatherings that pose other immediate threats to public safety. Police routinely arrest protesters who block traffic on freeways or bridges. COVID is a threat to public safety, whether you want to believe it or not.
"But what happens when there is a tyrannical Right Wing President?" Trump comes to mind immediately.

where the hell did you get that nonsense???
Well druggie, Denise was bitching about the right to gather, especially for religious purposes. Govt crackdown against religion. I said BS. The restriction on gathering in large groups of any kind was to prevent the spread of COVID, NOT to prevent religious freedom OR freedom of speech. He seemed to think the restriction of large groups gathering was impinging on his freedom of speech. I just carried his demand for freedom of speech one step further.
Denise, I was refuting YOUR interpretation of the 1st. You state religious rights were abridged by refusing to allow people, religious or otherwise, to gather. I stated that refusing to allow people, religious or otherwise, was to prevent the spread of COVID. Myopic ignored that completely and brought up BLM. What that had to do with the 1st, I don't know. Fascism is a mass political movement that emphasizes extreme nationalism, militarism, and the supremacy of both the nation and the single, powerful leader over the individual citizen. Yet you feel justified in calling me a liar and pushing my corrupt Left Wing Socialist agenda as I just did. ???? Self recognition is interesting, fool.

Yeah smart guy then how do you explain the BLM protests? The shutting down of churches was a definite result of the left's intolerance of the Jewish and Christian religions.
Well, myopic. You obviously are a COVID denier. That's YOUR problem, not mine.

I love the part stating, "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". Of course the Left Wingers here still agree churches should have been closed during Covid and that church goers should have been arrested for practicing their religion.
The Left loves the Constitution right up until it interferes with their corrupt agenda. Then all bets are off.
Dennis
According to your interpretation of the 1st, it's OK to yell FIRE in a crowded theater. Prohibition of gathering of large groups of people was to prevent the spread of COVID. If you're not smart enough to realize that, you must be a Fascist Republicant.
Talking to you is not as satisfying as talking to brick wall. HAND YSAFS.

Afghanistan: Biden was advised to keep 2,500 troops, say generals
Gen McKenzie, who as head of US Central Command oversaw the withdrawal from Afghanistan, said under questioning from Republican senators that he recommended keeping a small force of 2,500 troops in Afghanistan.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-58719834
Raq, as usual you have your head stuffed where the sun don't shine. Where did the 2500 troops come from? "President Donald Trump, who ordered the reduction in November, when there were about 4,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, said Thursday that troop levels in Afghanistan had reached a 19-year low. Although senior military officials had cautioned against speedy troop reductions in Afghanistan, SecDef Miller announced on Nov. 17 that he was implementing Trump’s order. As a result, military commanders scrambled to pull more than 1,500 troops out of the country in the last few weeks. At Trump’s order, commanders also cut U.S. troop levels in Iraq to 2,500 from about 3,000 in the same period. Miller confirmed Friday that the Iraq drawdown had been completed." NOT by Biden, but by TRUMP. Your hero and a worthless POS.
Well Raq, I'd really have liked to see what Biden could have done with the 2500 troops that trump left behind. What would you have done if you had 2500 troops left to defend Afghanistan?
Rac, obviously you are unaware that trump unilaterally notified the Taliban WITHOUT any discussion with the Afghanis that the US would start departing Afghanistan in Mar 2020, which they did. Trump DREW DOWN the number of troops to 2500 in Afghanistan PRIOR to Biden taking over.
11 & 13 totally belong to trump. 14. trump is a liar, teller of falsehoods, and loves to invoke the 5th, which he said was only for guilty people.
Maybe "know" is the wrong word. Perhaps "accept" would be more apropos.
Rac, you've got to be the most blissful person on Earth.
