The price of Amendments.
" 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' will return to ABC...ending a nearly weeklong of standoff over the late-night talk show," but "Sinclair and Nexstar Media Group, which together own about one in five ABC affiliates nationwide, both said they would continue preempting Kimmel's show in a controversy which has gone beyond late-night talk shows into questions of free speech and the First Amendment." CNN. Earlier his show was pulled off the air indefinitely after his comments on the murder of Charlie Kirk. In his monologue, "Kimmel said that the 'Maga gang' was 'desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them' and trying to 'score political points from it'." BBC. On 11 September, Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and a friend of President Donald Trump, was shot dead at a college event in Utah. NDTV. If Kimmel really wanted to exercise his First Amendment right to free speech, he would have talked about the outdated Second Amendment which guarantees "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms" for a "well regulated Militia". constitution.congress.gov. Instead, by accusing Maga, Kimmel made it a political statement. The US is the most powerful country in the world with a powerful military (US News) and has no need for any militia. The US is the only country in the world which allows individuals to claim ownership of mineral wealth in private land. In the 19th century, "the federal government passed homestead and development acts to encourage settlement in the West. These acts, along with the General Mining Law of 1872, allowed for federal public domain lands, and the natural resources within them, to pass to private ownership." Natural Resources Revenue Data. These laws must have been designed to grab land from the native Indian tribes living in the area and a well-armed Militia was necessary to protect the land-grabbers from attempts by Indians to take their land back. Unfortunately, today's Americans are paying the price of past sins. "Between January and August 2024, an estimated 30.1 k (30,100) people died from gun-related injuries. This is 5% fewer people than had died during the same point in 2023." USA Facts. Even children are not safe. "There have been 47 school shootings in the United States this year, as of September 10." "The incidents left 19 people dead and at least 77 other victims injured." CNN. The US even has fashionable pink guns for girls and women. pinkgun.com. And, there are many models of 'Youth Guns' to teach children how to shoot. Impact Guns. The First Amendment gives Americans the right to shoot their mouths off and the Second Amendment the right to get shot. Isn't that barbaric? But, Indians dream of living in the US and die trying to get there ET. What does it say about us?
