Should we leave free speech alone?

Other than "fire!" (insighting physical danger) or direct physical threats, it's a "free country" in the US. You know the saying, "Stick and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me". If you're campaigning to ban words or phrases, why? If absolutely nothing else, it seems selfish to take those away from millions of other people or may not use them the same way today, or how about 100yrs in the future? Always embarrassing to unban something. Even in Europe where it's illegal to deny certain events, that's horrible, but should you still be allowed to utter the words out loud without fear of crime? Can words be weapons or is desensitivity training more effective so we can all get along without increasing fear and struggles in communication? TC 280

You actually have a couple questions here, what question are we answering? The question in the title or the final question before the vote?

Free speech is way more important than the right to bear arms.

Oath Atinlay2 Aug 2, 2019

No it isn’t. They are both protected rights.

Akamai Technologies VmQQ44 Aug 2, 2019

And the right to bear arms serves ensures the government doesn’t take aware our free speech.

Microsoft kVW84 Aug 2, 2019

So say they pass some tyrannical legislation restricting your freedom of speech, and then determine that you're in violation. What happens next? How does the right to bear arms protect you against that?
