The Twitter Blackout: Tweeters protest by refusing to tweet -Freedom of Speech - 0 views

  •  
    While many are protesting Twitter's new censorship attempt, they are not seeing that it will actually help preserve freedom of speech in the US rather than censor it. The only countries that would be held to the certain censorships are ones that request it per religious, historical, or cultural reasons. So, freedom of speech on Twitter will be opened up in the US rather than restricted by the international growth.

    This is crazy its about how the copscan arrest you on the spot if you can't prove your citizenship status. Further more it states that if you buy a gun made in Arizona you don't have to register it.
  •  
    The weapon of choose becomes their Constitution right to bear arms. Perhaps that prospect will make police a little more concerned about who they round up on the streets. We doubt it. Weapon's instructors in Arizona feel cheated by the state's law makers as they are killing their business.
  •  
    It is wrong to be stopped by patrol just because you don't seem to look like you're from the US. As for the weapons not having to be licensed also defeats the purpose. I think anyone who owns a concealed weapon should be trained on how to use it, and with that you have to own a license.
  •  
    I defiantly disagree with both of these laws. I don't think it is right that a cop can pull someone over just to make sure they are legal. I also think in order to be allowed to handle a gun people should go through safety classes.
  •  
    I think there should be a little more added to both these laws. If you want to search someone regardless of race, gender, religion or whatever you should need probable cause. Also I think if you are going to handle any type of weapon you should have some background with weapons handling; maybe off free weapons safety classes at public ranges?
