We're past the point of speaking out.

I would like for you to consider why the US constitution outlines free speech in its first amendment, and the right to bear arms in the second. The reason why is not that different than the principal of charity, or the social contract of tolerance. The first amendment outlines and sets speech, language, as the first step in challenging authority. But implicit in that principal, is the idea that governments are precluded from not listening, or not being available to that speech. It is literally in why the US constitution is structured the way it is, in putting limits and restraints on governments, not people.

We have devolved long past the point where free speech is respected by the US government, under any interpretation of the words.

The second, is an enshrining of the right to to the use of violence when the first is no longer being respected.
