        The irony of you tooting about 1A, celebrating your “right” to free speech, based on your ability to post something in a forum where 1A doesn’t apply.

        It’s delicious.

          celebrating your “right” to free speech

          Offtopic: so these quotes mean you doubt that it is a right too?

          1A doesn’t apply for what mods do, but it seems mods agree that his opinion belongs here.

          1A does apply for him not being prosecuted for saying it anywhere. BTW, things like swatting gun rights’ supporters’ homes do in effect break 1A.

          So there’s a valid combination where there’s nothing “delicious” in your meaning in his comment - that’s if he meant that people in some other countries are more reserved with their opinions online because of fear of being flagged by police. I’d say it has some merit - slippery slopes work in reality.

          Also I think I’ve read something about Australia, refugees, detention and human rights activism of the level a bit more sinister than in US.

        You make it sound like thats unique to the US and a foreign concept to the rest of the world.

        Freedom of speech doesn’t mean you won’t face consequences of what you say.

        And we have the freedom to call you out on your American bullshit (that doesn’t even work in the US).

        The first amendment applies only to government action on your speech. It has nothing to do with your speech on a private website and it doesn’t apply outside of the US (even if you’d like to think the US owns the world).

        US has the highest domestic violence / death by gun rates in the entire world.

        There is no such thing as good guy with a gun. Look at the victory parade just last week. People with guns everywhere just ran away for their lives instead of shooting the bad guy with the gun they love boasting about.

        The worst mass shooting in Canada in history was 12 dead. What’s the worst death toll in the US?

        The last school shooting in Canada was about 20 years ago, when was the last one in the US?

        If this Australian couple had guns, 90% chance she would have been shot and killed by beer husband instead of whatever means he used. The police should have done their jobs.

        That is the reality.
