No I wouldn't demonstrate as I feel that is a "feel good" measure for those who do the demonstrating. There are process to follow to get legislation and laws changed in this country, I would do those if I really was intent on "making a difference". Ever hear of petition drives ect...?

If all that were the case wouldn't the Supreme Court have already overturned all of that legislation? You have to look at the whole body of work as the Consitution is a living and breathing document. I mean the Bill of rights wasn't even a part of it at first.

I hope they send him to jail for at least a month.

It is just a publicity ploy on his part.
He was well aware that a permit was required, and when the police arrived, he created a huge fuss rather than quietly fill out some paperwork.
He WANTED a commotion and getting jailed allows him to claim it was a police state tactic.
It was just his deliberate public disturbance.
Personally, I hope he gets more than a weekend in jail. Idiots like that should be kept off the street.

The bill of rights were always ensured even before they were added, read the founders transcripts of such things, these rights were seen as unalienable birth rights no man, no majority, and no government could take away, they were added not because they were just at that moment given, but added to protect what was already theres, a means of insurance.
Certain standards and practices may indeed change with time, but mans unalienable rights never change, the founders made this very clear, these rights are unalienable and timeless.
the constitution can be expanded and things added, (things that could not have been conceived at that time.) but now are such as for example driving, no its not a constitutional right but its something that could be added..but the protected unalienable rights can never be altered or revoked.

Long time coming, Alex Jones is dispicable and his tactics are clearly those that his masters in the middle east have sponsored to create confusion and chaos in the US. I hope they send him to jail for at least a month.
The whole "Truthers" movement is a sham.
These people are traitors and should be treated as such.
Back in the day when we in the USA had a problem with Commies, the United States Government stripped them of their citizenship and cast them off as garbage.
I believe its time to start that practice again and dispose of theinsurrectionist anarchists like Alex Jones and his troupe of malcontents.
Send them back to their Communist masters and rid ourselves of these seditious elements in our society.

AS I've said there are many different forms of anarchism. His ilk are the type that dont stand for the principles of free markets and capitalism.
They are paranoid about government control and in their paranoia they have gone on a rage campaign causing disruption and spreading slander too often.
They can very well be defined as anarchists and malcontents. Our government has thrown out anarchists before like Emma Goldman etc for being disruptive to the US and it can do the same to these punks.
As for our founding fathers, Thomas Jefforson said this is a Christian nation and only by Christian morals and values can we prevail.
Why do you conveniently forget about the other things our founding fathers say ? Do you know that our founding fathers had scant regard for traitors to the union ?
Protesting and rallying aside, spreading sedition is an offense against the union.

When the dems start pushing to ban ammo, id like to see the Supreme court ruling on such things, as an ammo ban doesn't stop people from owning guns...
