Your argument is… valid. Everyone, we’ve just established worldwide freedom of speech! Put this in the history books!

This is the real takeaway. Freedom of speech is the freedom to say anything. That’s it. You can just say it. It does not protect you from the consequences. It’s an important distinction to make, and I’m glad to see other people making that point.

I don’t think anyone that subscribes to right wing policies gives a shit about kids. It’s just an excuse. If they really cared about kids, they’d figure out a way to stop them from being victims of school shootings.
