[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Freedom of the Press has proven to be more dangerous than the right to bear arms. The pen is mightier than the sword. Guns and ammo don't shoot themselves.  People shoot them.  People are easily influenced and manipulated by the press and now, social media (re: Cambridge Analytica / FB). Propaganda is the weapon of the most dangerous minds throughout history. Russia is doing it now and will continue to do it, because we are so susceptible.  if you plot the data, the rise of social media and the rise of mass shootings occur over the same time periods. So perhaps, we should all think about solutions that work, not those that might seem convenient.  It is probably time to regulate these sites more heavily[/quote]

How do you secure the freedom of the press? In what fantasy land will an oppressive government with their armed thugs plan to storm a newspaper publisher and turn around dejected after reading a sign that says: "Freedom of the Press!"[/quote]

I think you’re missing my point. Anyhow, keep arguing about guns. Remember 9/11?  Any guns used?  No. Any rhetoric used?  Yes. 
And yes, I am being extreme to make a point. It is the hearts and minds that cause these tragedies, not an inanimate object. [/quote]
