(3 posts)Hence it's Infringed upon.
A small list:
You can not Yell fire in a crowded Theater. (Free speech, 1st Amendment Why not?)
You can not Commit slander or Libel (Free speech, and/or Press 1st Amendment Why not?)
In most places in the United States you can not protest without a permit (Right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances, 1st Amendment infringement, how can this stand!?! )
You can not commit Human Sacrifice legally, even if your religion requires it. ( prohibiting the free exercise of Religion, 1st Amendment, Why can't you?)
You can not legally practice every aspect of Sharīʿah law. ( prohibiting the free exercise of Religion, 1st Amendment, Why can't you?)
You can not legally practice many of the 'laws' in the old testament that both Christians and Jews have in their Bibles, by such as stoning your children or killing your wife. Women being forced to marry their rapists, et al. ( prohibiting the free exercise of Religion, 1st Amendment, Why can't you?)
You can't have more then one wife, even if your Religion demands you too. ( Prohibiting the free exercise of Religion, 1st Amendment, Why can't you?)
The press isn't allowed sometimes into Disaster zones, is this fair? ( A violation to the 1st Amendment to infringe on the Freedom of the press)
The Press isn't allowed to post pictures of murdered people at a crime scene, or war ( A violation to the 1st Amendment to infringe on the Freedom of the press)
It all depends on how one interprets the law. Nothing in the Constitution is black and white, It's mostly gray, so why not the 2ed?
Do you consider these Reasonable restrictions? Or Ignorant infringements by a overly nanny state Government on rights by those who wish to partake in some of the above list? Some people (Not saying you personally, but many rabid supporters) view the Second Amendment like a fanatical religion, Why should the fanatics get to dictate policy for the rest of us, with ZERO sane legislation that's better for the Three Hundred million people who live here? Serious question.
Having said that, I support the people to own guns, I just think they should be regulated more then Sudafed or Driving.
