86. How so? Particularly, how is shooting a gun "freedom of speech"?
There are many so-called "rights" that we have to clear hurdles to achieve, particularly when it comes to receiving "permits" or "licenses" from the government in order to do so. Driving immediately comes to mind.

I'm just throwing this out there for discussion's sake. Why must firearms be forced on people in order to protect themselves from other people with firearms? That's the gun violence "solution" that is always suggested by gun advocates, but it's a solution that violates my right to NOT bear arms and is therefore invalid.
