It's time to register journalists

If it's good for the 2nd, why not the 1st?


Pitts files journalist registry bill, triggers Constitution debate

Pitts admitted the constitutionality of the law is obvious, as it relates to the First Amendment, which includes the freedom of the press and freedom of speech.

"Both amendments are equal and pure, but there's a perception, and it's well presented by the media, that the Second Amendment is more of a privilege than a right," Pitts said. "If the First Amendment is so absolute, why isn't the Second Amendment."

Pitts said the bill is drawing attention to the fact there is a double standard on constitutional recognition when it comes to the Second Amendment and others.

"It's time to register journalists"

It's time for conservatives to stop with false comparison fallacies.

This is as ignorant as it is ridiculous and wrong.

Neither the First nor Second Amendments are 'absolute,' both are subject to reasonable restrictions by government.

Child pornography, defamation, and expression dependent upon time, manner, and place are examples of speech not entitled to First Amendment protections.

It's just as ignorant and wrong, whatever the 'level.'
