The second amendment protects her right to publish children's books?...


Does it protect my right to make toast?...  

That's why toast is illegal in France....

That's why there are no books in France...

Without a second amendment
If someone did outlaw something that was ridiculous to outlaw
WHAT THE FUKK WOULD YOU DO ABOUT IT?

Perhaps one needs to be more, Specific.

A Book, is in a group of, things, covered by, ‘…Freedom of Speech...". So a, ‘book’ even though, it is comprised of words, printed on paper, and bound together, (and now a  electronic Facsimile of,  on a ‘reading’ device or a computer). Is simply a POV of that person. Clearly under the,  ‘…Freedom of Speech…”.  To say, ‘…freedom of press…”  is  just one Part, of the overall,  ‘…Freedom of Speech…”.


Now for the, ‘freedom’ of, ‘Books’  which has now been chained to, ‘press’.  Just go to your favorite browser, and type in: ‘Book Banning In France’.  Or, 'Book Banning'. Then read the various sights, and their, POV. (Gonna do that again on a Rainy Nasty Day) You will find statements like below, and they are Very Interesting. (Didn’t find anything about France Banning Toast though !)
“…In 2016, a television ad which advocated that babies with Down Syndrome shouldn't be aborted solely because of their syndrome ran. It was ruled anti-abortion speech and removed….”
“…Most recently, several acts ordered by Nicolas Sarkozy, then-Interior Minister and former President of the Republic (until 2012), have been criticized as forms of censorship…”
“…Libraries sometimes avoid purchasing controversial books, and the personal opinions of librarians have at times impacted book selection….”
“…2010 was a difficult year for Internet freedom in France. The offices of several online media firms and their journalists were targeted for break-ins and court summons and pressured to identify their sources. As a result, France has been added to Reporters Without Borders list of "Countries Under Surveillance"...”
“…On 14 October 2011 a French court ordered French Internet service providers to block the Copwatch Nord Paris I-D-F website. The website shows pictures and videos of police officers arresting suspects, taunting protesters and allegedly committing acts of violence against members of ethnic minorities….”
“…April 2013 DCRI forced the deletion of the article when it summoned a volunteer with administrator's access to the French language Wikipedia and ordered him to take down the article that had been online since 2009. DCRI claimed the article contained classified military information and broke French law….”
          ETC/ETC/ETC/ETC/ETC/ETC

Found these  Very Interesting:
“…Orwell,  (Animal House), found that no publisher would print the book, due to its criticism of the USSR, an important ally of Britain in the War. Once published, the book was banned in the USSR and other communist countries. In 2002, the novel was banned in the schools of the United Arab Emirates, because it contained text or images that goes against Islamic values…”

(Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland      Lewis Carroll)
“…The censor General Ho Chien believed that attributing human language to animals was an insult to humans. He feared that the book would teach children to regard humans and animals on the same level, which would be “disastrous”…"
So Interesting, because that is  Exactly what Walt Disney did, (Well Known Anti-Gun) with ‘Bambi”.  It started a generation of kids to identify that, ‘Bambi’, was a Sentient being, because it could ’talk/think’. So those kids, grew up teaching their kids, “Oh ya Can’t Hunt  ‘Bambi’. Then those kids grew up, teaching their kids, ‘Guns Are Bad’, simply because they had NO association with them.

“…At present, the Bible has been banned in Saudi Arabia. In a number of countries, bible translation, distribution, sale or promotion is prohibited or made difficult, and the Bible may be considered extremist materials…”

(Catch -22) “…Banned in several US states: in 1972, it was banned in Strongsville, Ohio (overturned in 1976)…”

( Doctor Zhivago) ”…Banned in the Soviet Union until 1988 for criticizing life in Russia after the Russian Revolution. When its author, Boris Pasternak, won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1958 he was forced to reject it under government pressure.…”

(Remember the, ‘The Satanic Verses’, by Salman Rushdie)
“… led to their author having a death warrant put on the author’s head. In fact, few modern books have as bloody a publication history. As a result of this book,  had to go into hiding for an entire decade after Iran’s Ayatollah issued a fatwa, a fatwa that also led to the death of Rushdie’s Japanese translator. Decried by many in the Muslim world for its apparent blasphemy, it was burned in the streets in Britain and around the Islamic world….”

That’s enough, I could spend Hours reading this.  It is Fascinating History. But alas, the dew is off the grass, time to climb on the lawn mower.  

The point is, no one has marched to Capital Hill with a gun. Yet, books that, ‘were’, banned here, are now NOT, banned, due to people raising their voices and giving their POV. Which, someone, CAN NOT, say: ‘ you will do this, or you will be shipped off to North Montana in Winter simply because I said so’.
            Because Of  ???????????

 As with every gun debate ever, we can circular reason our way around our positions by cherry-picking facts that suppot our views.  

 My point is that people who live in other countries do not see how our 2nd Amendment is the reason why we have freedoms similar, as in not exactly the same, (for instance in France you can show a balloon thingy on network TV but that would never fly here type of similar) when they do not have a 2nd Amendment.

 I don't know how much time you guys spend outside the country working with others but its typically no less than 4 months annually for me, and in my experience most people don't feel more oppressed in their country than in the US.  

 We say the National Guard would have come and murdered thousands of people if we werent armed, and we all know thats not true.  Nobody would have enacted martial law over people throwing local politicians out of office because they acted against their constituents.  It wasnt the 2nd Amendment, its simply bad publicity, and terrible logistics to clean up that many bodies.

Last time I was, ‘cross the pond’, was when I was in the UK, at the big, CLA  ‘Game Fair’, about 15 years ago.

However over the last 50 years, visiting various Gun Shops, gun shows, ranges, gun clubs, competitions. Owning a brick & Mortar gun shop, and working in various ones, have had some experience in, talking to people from different Nations.

And every one, was just,  WOWED, with the Freedom, ‘GUNS’, had in America.  This included  UK, AU, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Ukraine, Spain, Portugal, and of course, Canada and Mexico.  Lately, it is internet, ‘boards/forums’, like this one, which are Gun Orientated, which open up discussions to all, but most are, from the USA.  On One, a person was talking about, and asking if anyone else was doing the same thing, about crafting a certain shell for a certain use. I had done something very slimier 15 years ago, have refined it and adapted it to other cartridges.  Offered to send a couple of, EMPTY, cartridge cases, to this fellow who was working on this project., (they would have made his work easier), He declined, because he was from Brazil, and just Possessing that EMPTY Un-Primed case, (if caught), would put him in Jail.

So I would like to see, the list of countries you say, the residents of, see no difference between where they live, and the USA, because of the 2nd Adm., and the Firearm, sports/competitions/recreations, they engage in.

Granted, if they are Not ‘gun’ people. They may not see a difference. But that would be like saying, ‘Eric Holder’, only wants to protect your freedom.
