TOM THE DANCING BUG: When Gun Proponents Go Ballistic

You are correct that it is not a direct, drop in replacement, but that is a failing of imagination rather than a failing of my argument.

I don’t personally stand behind the Citizens United or Hobby Lobby decisions, but I also don’t discount our entire legal infrastructure of protection of speech and religion because of it, so I also don’t feel like that’s a sufficient reason to dismiss my argument wholesale. A 17 year old kid named Amos Yee went to jail in Singapore for unfavorably comparing their deceased former leader to Jesus in a five minute youtube video, that is what I would consider to be a more major failing of free speech/religion in a westernized democracy.
