106. I love the way authoritarians put "freedom" in quotes
Yes, we DO have the FREEDOM (no scare quotes needed) to keep and bear arms. It's called the constitution, the rule of law.

Just as we have the freedom to be presumed innocent until proven guilty , just as we have , even when guilty as hell, the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, just as have the freedom to consult counsel, remain silent, etc.

You can't pick and choose, cafe style, which civil rights you want . The constititution says TAKE ME AS A WHOLE.

So, either amend the constitution, or accept that we DO have the freedom to keep and bear arms
