28. Hate speech is protected by a different amendment to the Bill of Rights
The First.

The only one the founders of this nation felt was equally/more important than the right to keep and bear arms, was the right to speak your mind, no matter how abrasive your thoughts may be.

The only exceptions are actual threats and speech that puts other's safety at risk, such as screaming fire in a crowded theater to use the customary example.

Don't be a jackass, if you live in this nation and are competent to be posting on the internet you know that already.

So stop playing dumb to try to make some idiotic point.
