You think I can't come up with another easy rebuttal to your ridiculous Talking Point besides the Internet? Really?
Huhwah? You said that the Internet is not protected speech. This is clearly not true. The internet is (supposed to be) as protected a form of speech as talking on the phone or sending a letter in the mail. Of course, we all know that since Bush and even before we are now under the shackles of pervasive domestic surveillance, but that is another matter.
Electronics speech is still protected speech.
I assumed we were talking about FREEDOM, which has no limitations set by you!
No, we were talking about driving cars at 200 MPH, and then you stipulated race tracks.
Exactly! That's why your post gives me carte blanche to dump heavy metal pollution into your back yard, since you're all for freedom!
No one is advocating for anarchy or some kind of libertarian wet dream with no government regulation. You are constructing a straw man.

A person lawfully carrying a gun is statistically far, far safer than someone driving 200 MPH.

Breaking news! Calling fellow DUers "chickenshit trolls" is now OK (as long you're a pro-gunner)

PMFJI, bongbong, but did you just mean to say "It's OK If You Are A Gay Republican?"

Sometimes, when posting from my cell phone, I don't even notice when it separates words like that.

You might be picking up a stalker. But you're still way behind: I have like 8 of them...
