If we should ban travel into the States from certain Muslim countries to avert potential acts of terror, then we should end 2nd Amendment rights for white people.

"Why white people? People of all races have used guns in violent crimes."

True, but because #TrumpLogic, that's why.

Many terrorist acts are committed by Muslims, but not all. Trump wants to ban travel from a handful of countries in order to prevent future terrorist attacks.

Many mass shootings are perpetrated by white people, so following #TrumpLogic, we should do all we can to prevent future mass shootings. I can think of no better solution than a blanket ban on gun ownership for white people.

Any Trump supporter would agree.

Your entire stupid topic has unraveled at step one. Close it.

#TrumpLogic still applies.

If Trump cares about the Constitution, he should understand the government has no place suppressing free speech.

Aa a private organization, the NFL can discipline players as they see fit. Trump and the government in general should keep their noses out of it.

Your argument holds no water.

Is that why Antifa is actively trying to suppress free speech, and not trying to hide that fact?

What does this have to do with the government/Trump trying to suppress free speech?

At least Zangulus had a good point, it just doesn't hold up under #TrumpLogic.

You just don't know what you're talking about at all.

Calling for that is one thing, and, while repugnant, is protected under the Constitution. Actively doing it however, is highly illegal.

That wouldn't even make sense for Trump logic. You're trying equate 1% of the US population which is responsible for the vast majority of terror attacks in the US with 62% of the population which is responsible for less than HALF of all gun deaths in the US.

But nice lazy trolling right after a national tragedy, pal.

The only problem with that statement is that it currently is protected until SCOTUS decides otherwise.

...what? Do you understand how any of this shit works? Let alone the fact that calling somebody out has never been considered "suppressing free speech" by any definition, except maybe SJW definitions which make Trump look like the most enlightened philosopher in human history.

Until they enter the country or a US territory, they're not under American authority. Are you suggesting that our constitution applies to foreigners in foreign lands? Because that's overreaching on so many levels.

If they are under US authority (for instance, under the care of the American military while operating in a foreign area), then yes, they are actually afforded some constitutional rights.

That's not me "suggesting" anything - that's just how it works.

Given that military bases are considered US territory, that was kinda established in my initial claim and didn't need a follow-up. What I was asking -- and what you almost seemed to apply -- is that a man on the streets of Moscow (not in an embassy, not on a military base -- ie, US territory) is afforded protections under the constitution.

Or they're too used to doing it in other places or just doing it ironically.

In what way would a man on the streets of Moscow be under American authority? That stipulation was in my original post, which you quoted - I wasn't implying anything.

You're reading your own narrative into things again, Zeus. Hasn't that got you in enough trouble today?

Overlooking that these are completely different circumstances, I should also remind you that my other comment made very late last night so "today" is just trying to project a narrative of which you yourself are guilty.

If you want to be that pedantic, your comment was made today (as was all the fallout from it) unless you happen to live in Hawaii.

Seriously, dude, the timestamp is right on your post. You can go to the other topic and check it right now if you want.

Seriously, dude, it was made during the night before I went to bed. No day = not today. It's why we have two words, tonight and today, to differentiate the time. More importantly, while my comments were made using the material available at the time, your comments are nowhere near as informed.

And if you can't acknowledge the difference between night and day, you shouldn't be making claims in regards to time especially because the difference is as clear as.... night and day!

Thanks for the links.

I was thinking of the Fighting Words ruling.

That wouldn't be hate speech though. With the refinement over the years, Fighting Words essentially just mean you're allowed to defend yourself against threats made specifically toward you prior to violence from the other party during a face-to-face interaction. If someone is not in your physical presence and doesn't announce an intention to actually harm you, you'd have a hard time using Fighting Words in a court.

That being said, assuming you misused the legal definition of hate speech, then yes, holding a knife at someone and saying you're going to slice their throat is not protected speech.
