The Heckler’s Veto

It’s literally 99.9999 or something like that of the AR-15s in America will have no connection to a murder in any given year, in other words well over 99.9 % of the AR-15s in the United States will have no connection to criminality in the United States in any given year, so if you’re going to have the government ban the 99.99% of the AR-15s in the United States because of a few hundred bad apples misbehaving with AR-15s you have engaged in a violation of our constitutional rights known as the Heckler veto… [Watch]

Good points. It sounds like you could make a good case that of all the people who heard Donald Trump speak on Jan. 6, only a handful ignored his call to be peaceful and got rowdy to the point of striking out at others, and that shouldn’t abridge his First Amendment-protected rights.

As an aside, I know speaking is different thatn writing in terms of not being able to go back and edit remarks before they’re released, but I hope in the future he’s mindful to say “killed with” more and “killed by” less.

Exactly why is Jackson’s father in prison? Well, he’s currently rotting away behind bars because Jackson called the FBI and reported his father for participating in the January 6 “insurrection,” while giving federal authorities all the evidence they would need to convict him. If I could ask Jackson one question (he’s currently much too busy studying political science when he isn’t making appearances on MSNBC or CNN or doing interviews with the Washington Post to respond to someone like me), it would be this: have you seen any of the coverage of what happened after Donald Trump was elected in 2016 and if so, how can you sleep at night after betraying your own father?

“Fatherland”… how appropriate.

I wonder what karma has in store for this sanctimonious young fool.
