  2nd amendment is the law of the land.  And nobody can see different.  Not even 
  WGT.  Nobody can make rules that are against the laws of the land

  Erm, the NRA might take issue with this. Seems they base their actions on what the 2nd amendment allows-the right to keep and bear arms.

  The 1st one does say something about free speech but doesn't say you can't set up a forum with rules, one of which prohibits political discussions. Looks like WGT is exercising their right.  :-)

  Just be grateful they didn't guarantee the right to arm bears.

  Whatever happened to free speech?

  First, the protection of free speech is protection against government intrusion on or government abridgment of that speech. Second, the right to free speech is not an absolute right. It has limitations. Third, the guarantee of free speech does not include with it the guarantee of a forum or a platform. Fourth, and finally, free speech is alive and well.

  Oh!
  
  All these years, I thought it was the right to bare arms.

  The way the Chicago Bears are playing this year they need to carry  arms.  They suck!!  For bare arms wear a muscle T-shirt, in front of a carnival mirror.

  You obviously haven't watched any of the News broadcast from the USA or read a newspaper lately...they say anything they want, fact checking is a thing of the past...LMAO

  I'm pretty sure our constitution doesn't apply to the Irish though so whats your point?

  Yup, and if media had told the people even half of the truth there would have been 2 different people standing in your recent elections. ;)

  Dan behave yourself, Dumbfork never has any point other than trying to needle people.

  His bitterness is always in plain sight.

  OMG, is it ever. It's like the new rule is, anything goes. Funny as hell that there's always a bunch of supporters swearing to blatant fact distortion. That alone steered the latest election.  :-(
