Forum Lurker BS: USA Constitution and Bill of Rights info (90* d) RE: BS: USA Constitution and Bill of Rights info 18 Apr 03


leprechaun-Actually, the First Amendment doesn't make provision that you can't say certain things, either because they are untrue or because they will cause damage or both. "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech" seems fairly clearcut to me: it can never be a crime to say something.

Troll-The question is, what does it mean by "the right of the people to bear arms?" It certainly covers the ownership of weapons useful in community defense, in a manner useful to the community; whether it includes weapons purely for personal use, such as handguns useless beyond fifty feet unless your target is a piece of paper is less clear to me.
