64. The pressures and risks that brought about the 2nd amendment remain, today.
Just as they did in the 1700's. Just like the 1st amendment. Forgive me if I have grown tired of 'hypothetical' exploration of end runs around the core laws upon which our entire nation is founded, like the fucking republicans always seeking to subvert and limit our modern understanding of the 1st Amendment. And for the good of the people, or risk to society, seek to curtail our freedom of expression, because OH GOD the risk of ideas outweighs the benefit to some imaginary city on a hill in some cro-magnon republican's imagination.

Technology has changed around free expression as well as it has around firearms. And like the 2nd, the pressures that require the 1st, remain unchanged today.
