In reply to the discussion: Solution to Gun Control? Reject 2nd Amendment. It is that simple. [View all]MarineCombatEngineer
(18,060 posts)90. I was good up until this:
4) A more comprehensive definition of the term "hate speech"
Now you're starting to screw with the 1A and I won't tolerate that, and neither would any court in the land, and you know as well as I do that the repukes would love to have such a law on the books to define what "hate speech" is when they get back in power.
And then there's this:
6) A coordinated, well-planned, and well funded pushback against speech which is detrimental to public safety in general. This includes the "shaming" of this type of speech. This includes making people who support this type of rhetoric pariahs of sorts. It was done successfully to cigarettes smokers. It can be done successfully with this type of speech...with enough funding and enough motivation to create a concerted effort.
Who funds this? The Govt.? Private orgs? Donations?
And there there's this:
Education of anyone they encounter in public on the difference between "facts" and "opinion"
What exactly do you mean by "Education"? Do you force someone to be "educated"?
Suppose they tell the "educator" to fuck off and mind their own fucking business?
Would there be any punishment for not being "educated"?
Do you have any idea how this would be used by the repukes to their benefit?
Nope, not happening and I would tell someone who tried to "educate" me to go pound sand right up their ass.

The real rub is you need 2/3 of the states to sign off. Just enforce the "well regulated militia"

Having the right to bear arms shouldn't mean anyone can own any weapon they want.

That's completely incorrect. Police in the form of county sheriffs existed in the colonies
