As the founding fathers intended:
“Congress shall make no law abridging freedom of speech.” But that doesn’t apply to the telephone, email, texting, Facebook, Twitter, yard signs, billboards, etc.
“Congress shall make no law abridging freedom of the press.” But that only protects printed newspapers, and only those printed on one of those old hand-operated vertical ink and lead presses. Television, cable, radio and the Internet are all fair game for government control.
Government has given us NO rights. The only powers that government is supposed to have are those WE have given to it. All of our rights were given to us by God, including the right to keep and bear arms, and we have the right to keep and bear for a reason.
Sorry. I know you were just having some fun with a silly argument of the anti-freedom bunch, but that “muskets” thing really sets me off! If the Second Amendment only protects muskets, then the First Amendment doesn’t protect CNN or MSNBC!
