Gun control laws in California and beyond in peril as Supreme Court expands 2nd Amendment - Lemmy.world

What other right can simply be denied to adults? Do you have to get permission from the government to exercise free speech? Can you be denied your right to remain silent based on what state you live in?

Treating the 2nd Amendment like a first-class right is hardly ‘expanding’ it.

Iirc there was already some cases that decided that the government does have to right to decide what types of weapons you can own.
And what kind of speech you can say. For example, hate speech, incitements to violence, and of course yelling “fire” in a crowded theater.

And numerous forms of protest too. Anything that gains traction is then declared a “riot” or “illegal assembly” and dealt with harshly.

None of these 2A supporters seem to care that you need a permit to protest or register to vote, but ask for people to get even the most basic of training before purchasing an object specifically designed to kill people and suddenly its “but muh rights!”
