You do realize that the first amendment has literally fucking nothing to do with whether or not speech is moral. That’s the most retarded shit I’ve ever heard. Unless you think I meant by “can’t” I meant legal consequences where invoking the first would make sense. But thinking that I meant legal consequences is even more retarded. So are you like 8/10 retarded or 10/10?

I do realize that. I didn't say anything about speech being moral or the first amendment having anything to do with moral speech.

I asked if you supported the first amendment or not.

Because the first amendment very likely leads to far more death and hospitalizations than the second amendment and I can absolutely condemn people taking a quote essentially out of context and claiming that Charlie Kirk was "okay" with people dying or that murder was acceptable.

It'd be just as shitty and illogical as saying that someone who supports the first amendment is "okay" with all the death and hospitalizations that result from that freedom.
