Ridiculous and wholly unnecessary government overreach. Every official that touched this should be fired and publicly dragged through the mud.

Are the better mods in the room with us now?

Down here it’s a pretty common hobby. I just got a new .308 last year for this explicit purpose.

Eleventy Eleven.

Too rational for Lemmy.

“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

I don’t wish anyone harm, but I will always choose the right to speak freely over what a governing body considers “safe”.

We have far too much to lose by allowing the government to dictate what people can and can not say.

You are correct, but laws like this do not need to be enforced. This is draconian.

“we have to decide whether their right to spout hatred is more important than trans people’s right to safety, comfort, and wellbeing.”

In no uncertain terms, it is imperative that we do not allow any governing body to decide what we can and can not say. What is and isn’t dangerous, what is and isn’t hate, can not and should not be legislated, or we will be robbed of our voices lest dissent be considered dangerous, or hatred. It won’t be long until calling the police “pig” is a hate crime and criticizing your leaders sedition.

Shun them, malign them, discredit, and mock them publicly, but I can never see the good in giving the government the ability to punish someone for their speech, no matter how vehemently it goes against modern paradigm.

“I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”

This whole law is absurd and draconian.

If Mexico won’t address them, the U.S. should be given the green light to handle it and put them down where they live.

One is an ally, and the other isn’t. It should be clear how to resolve it.

A good guy with a gun, iirc.

The Colonies.

Pretty sure it’s the x in “xoxo”, the old convention for hugs and kisses.
