...as is the works of Larry Flynt and Robert Maplethorpe. Should the 1st Amendment be infringed and curtailed because of a few reckless individuals like these?....

A liberal court decided that Flag burning and pornography were "protected expression", this is as misguided as their decision in Dredd Scot.
The 1st A expressly protects speech, and press. Expanding that to encompass "expression" is another example of Govt usurpation of unintended powers just like the abuses of the 10th A and  the "Commerce Clause". Originally intended to oversee taxation on goods transferred between states it has been used to justify almost any intervention the Govt wishes to make in your life.
 Fools worry about the Patriot act, While the REAL danger lurks in activist judges.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

Sorry 'bout that, TW.........you said it well also.......I just meant that Tom summed it up in such a simple statement.    ;)   ;D



In reality, the simplest statement regarding the whole issue would be:

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

Referring to you as an ass is not "name calling, it's a descriptive adjective. If they didn't teach you that in English class you can probably double check with FQ.
