Great idea! Let's restrict speech to the same context as the 18th Century. The Founders could not have envisioned the internet, wireless communication, rotary offset printing, and anything else not involving writing by hand or setting lead type in a hand operated press.

Umm... registration is not required in most US states for guns. Hunting licenses have nothing to do with gun ownership, it has to do with getting permission to go kill an animal.

Obligatory "We live in a Republic not a democracy"

This only proves that the ways and will of God is ineffable. To even suggest it's evolution in action is blasphemy.

They also have an amateur radio station on board that can be used for emergency communications. It would have been a CB, but West Virginia couldn't get their mobile home module into orbit.

So you will support having all military and law enforcement in this country operating under the same restrictions for gun possession as US citizens do, as there is clearly no need for the more dangerous and evil military grade weapons? https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/require-law-enforcement-and-military-adhere-same-gun-laws-and-restrictions-placed-us-citizens/xhGg99rL?utm_source=wh.gov&utm_medium=shorturl&utm_campaign=shorturl

For the AK 47, Europeans have better magazines. All my US made AK 47 mags suck or are over priced. And the South Korean ones are ok, but a bit cheap. Give me European mags any day. Oh. Wrong magazine. Sorry.

What the heck are you smoking? I made no reference to skin tone, but rather was referring to the radical islamic ideals that segregate women. Nice way to try and change the topic though.

Will they be there, listening to Stallman, or will they be carefully segregated from their sexual superiors?

A lot of things are proposed as a matter of public safety. The TSA is all about "public safety" I suppose you sing the Star Spangled Banner as your equipment gets felt up? Salute the flag while your six year old daughter is felt up too, all in the name of "public safety?" My phone, my choice. I don't want .gov alerts on it of *any* sort, I should be free to not get them. Fairly simple. I do not understand the mindset of people who think that if you put the right buzzwords of "safety" on it, that it's ok to put up with any sort of intrusion on devices you own.

I'm opposed to be told I *must* receive these messages. I am opposed to having to opt out of having someone contact me via my two way communications device that I may not want to be contacted over. I am opposed to being compelled to pay extra for compliant hardware, and that my provider may charge me extra to recoup costs associated with participating in this program. It's the loss of *choice* I oppose. But some people prefer to have choices made for them. I prefer to make them myself. And I would prefer to *chose* what messages I get, how and from whom. I can block callers and people attempting to reach my phone that I do not wish to communicate with. I cannot block this. Personal choice, personal freedom and personal responsibility. It has nothing to do with "opposing the government" or "being opposed to receiving messages about emergency conditions." It has everything to do with being told I may have no choice in receiving certain types of messages.

Difference is, my phone is a two way communications device that can be uniquely linked to me in various ways. My TV or radio is not. To me this is akin to being told I can't stop a government agent from knocking at my door with a message for me. I don't want them knocking at my door with an important message, and I don't want them sending a message to my phone. Go away. I'm quite capable of opting in for alert services if I want. This is just a form of feel good security theater.
