Brian, #1. No #2. Yes, an uncompromising stand on censorship lacks reason/some speech is dangerous and must be limited...yelling FIRE in a crowded room is the usual example.
I am conflicted (this must be evident from my post) on the issue of black guns. What I think I believe in is what the Supreme Court ruled in the DC gun-ban case; that is that the Constitution is clear that the Right of the PEOPLE to bear arms shall not be infringed...but subject to the right of the government to reasonably regulate this Right. Just like Free Speech.
I said I was wrong a lot...Geo
By the way, I was once an infantry officer just like you...long ago. My best wishes to you while you are over there; and THANKS!
