[QUOTE="JimFromTN, post: 2014939, member: 113268"] Social media is privately owned and therefore the 1st amendment does not apply. This website does not allow you to say whatever you want because its their right. Also, there are plenty of as far right as you want to go social media outlets that people can express their opinions on. If you don't like facebook or twitter, create a right wing facebook and twitter. There isn't anything preventing it. As for gun rights being nibbled away, no new gun laws have been passed in the last 25 years with the exception of the ban on bump stocks which was bipartisan and supported by the NRA. Background checks was also supported by the republicans and the NRA. The problem with the 2nd amendment is that its too generic. It didn't prevent the restrictions on fully automatic weapons or the ban on the manufacture and importation of automatic weapons signed by Reagan. If the 2nd amendment is about the citizenry being able to overthrow the government then we should be allowed to own grenade launchers and miniguns. The politicians of today are no different than Reagan and Bush signing gun control legislation. The only people talking about ratifying the constitution are conservatives. They want to get rid of the 17th amendment. The people who you mentioned as your enemies are well within their constitutional rights whether we like it or not. The fact that you don't want them to be able exercise those constitutional rights means you failed your oath in that you won't defend the constitution for them. [/QUOTE]
