Anti Gunners Don’t Know The Difference Between Mandates and Liberty

From Bearing Arms:

The author of this piece claims these stores are hurting the Second Amendment cause. What the author and most anti-gunners don’t get is that everything went out the window the moment stuff started being mandated.

At that point, you’re telling stores what they must do, even as many would probably do so voluntarily otherwise.

Freedom matters and the moment you start off by trying to take away that freedom, you suddenly have a lot of pushback you wouldn’t have had otherwise.

Florida Wants To Ban Gun Pictures On Social Media

From Reason:

This is an obvious First Amendment violation: The statute isn’t limited to displays that constitute true threats of violence (there’s a First Amendment exception for such true threats), or possession of guns by minors in violation of state law. Indeed, it would be a crime for a minor to post a photo of himself lawfully using a gun at a shooting range.
