New threat to 2nd A?

Yesterday on my hike up toward the Spanish Peaks, someone noticed my bear spray. So I remarked, "I am the grandson of a Norwegian immigrant who homesteaded Montana during that socialistic free land giveaway ... so I thought it prudent to carry ICE deterrent!" Coulda been packing in belt under jacket as 2A right as well.
 
Your first amendment right doesn't grant you permission to harass people in church either, turns out.

That remains to be seen. Incredibly stupid and counterproductive move IMO, but I think they will prevail in the end.

What is even more intersting and not in dispute is that news media has a right to cover such actions.

Today in the news...DOJ has arrested two media members ...who were covering protests.

This one has ran its course
We agree on this one. I appreciate the honest dialogue that was had, especially early in this thread, but it seems like the time it takes for everyone to retreat into their partisan corners is about 4 days. It's January and I found two ticks on my dog on Tuesday, so might as well get out and touch grass. ✌️

Thought I saw a bunch of them all over a little forky earlier this month, but concluded that had to be impossible this time of year. Chit.
 
I hope that anti-hunters don’t borrow tactics from these protesters and start exercising their free speech by using whistles on a more widespread basis. In the AI summary below, just replace “federal agents” and “ICE” with “hunters”.

I 100% expect the anti-hunting activists in Colorado to adopt the current anti-ICE tactics, if they haven’t already. Likely around contentious commission votes in March and May on a fur ban and furbearer/beaver management. They are calling for the elimination of CPW and the commission to be replaced with an activist body from the universities with no representation from sportsmen or agriculture. They have also resorted to death threats against CPW officers and spreading conspiracy theories regarding the deadly mountain lion attack on New Years.
 

The real threat to the 2nd slowly taking it away one bill at a time
Oh they aren’t done yet. Two more anti-gun bills launched this week. Expansion of red flag laws and further erosion of due process protections. Requirement that all purchase and transfer of firearm barrels through FFLs. Makes no sense, doesn’t serve public safety. Ghost guns are already illegal. Is being widely reported a ban on all NFA items including suppressors is coming next during this legislative session. Zealots in the CO Dem party know no bounds.

Intent is clear, slowly strangle and eliminate legal gun ownership through regulation. Penalize gun owners and the industry as much as possible. Further solidify Bloomberg-Everytown billionaire control of Colorado state legislature. Disgusting.

I was discussing the arrest of Don Lemon at the gym today.

While he will have to spend good money on a lawyer, there is almost zero chance he gets convicted of anything.

The old saw, I'd rather be judged by twelve, than carried by six, applies. Good luck finding 12 people off the street to agree that the press can't cover a protest.

I'm not a big fan of Lemon, but that is immaterial.

Interesting consideration. Next thing you know we'll have "Journalists" in high positions with the bloods and crips. Edit: upon more consideration, they probably dont want the coverage :ROFLMAO:
