Andrew Swallow under your bizarre theory all dvds could be suppressed and all photos the press is not newspapers since it clearly covered books Pictures were printed with a press speech is separately protected nudity and nude pictures are not the same Sheesh Where did you study Constitutional law my widely cited article might be of some use to you: Vincent Brannigan & Bruce Ensor, Did Bose Speak Too Softly?:Product Critiques and the First Amendment,14HofstraL.

They would of allowed those arms also. The 2nd was not about hunting and fishing, was about the ability to toss a bad government. Bingo! Most people do not understand the importance of the 1st and 2nd amendments and our ability to talk about our crappy government and second to force them out of office if they wont leave when their term is up. |
