First amendment rights... Against Calgunners? WTF

[Cokebottle]

You have all been warned and I am forwarding this to my team of Attorneys!

Are you using the firm I referred you to...

Wow. This is some thread.

[IrishPirate]

Sorry to Thread Jack but:

Since the 1st ammendment has been incorporated (right?), it means that the States and their Local Gov'ts can't make laws that infringe on our 1A rights.......correct?

But businesses can do it all they want.....correct?

What if you are a State employee?.........could the state tell you that you aren't allowed to say certain things at work?

Interesting....

Ya... I just had my sexual harassment class last week.
I've also been told that even with a CCW, firearms are prohibited on city property.

So what your deal, this is A privately owned forum. You paid nothing for an account and now are threatening a lawsuit in return becasue you have been warned after not following the terms of use? If you go to a restaraunt that is privately owned and are asked to leave because you were excersising your 1st amendment rights do you think that you could win in a lawsuit? I dont. Stop being a dick about something you got for free.

As I've already explained to 69mach1 and to leelaw:

As a company or anything in general for that matter, can't take away a members first amendment... As a forum and marketplace, you understandingly allow people to post and view what is known as there right to freedom of speech.

Example: Facebook can't tell people not to cuss, but instead the can take a single letter out of that one or more word(s) and replace it with a star sign.

The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights. The amendment prohibits the making of any law "respecting an establishment of religion", impeding the free exercise of religion, infringing on the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances.

the first: I explained a factual base a a sellers product and get a warning!

Second time: I only said that I like it and bump... which is minimal... to say the least...

I've warned both moderators that if they continue to take members rights away they will suffer the lawsuit consequences!

69mach1's answer: You do not have a first amendment right to free speech on this private site. follow the rules, or good bye.

Leelaw's answer: Upon creation of your account, you agreed to abide by the terms of service of membership at Calguns.net. These terms include following all rules of the forums, including the Marketplace forum rules, as specified in the links which I have provided you twice now, and which are also posted at the top of each Marketplace forum for your convenience.

You will follow the rules, or your account will be limited. I look forward to you reviewing this with your attorney, who will tell you that you have no case whatsoever for a Constitutional Amendment rights violation.

I hope your attorney doesn't charge you too much for a remedial high school civics lesson.

Cheers,
Lee

Leelaw also added: Frivolous lawsuits may incur expensive (for you) countersuits. You may wish to discuss that with your attorney as well.
As to this conversation, we are done here, and so is your access.

Regards,
Lee

Tell me what you think!!!

To Petition for the First Amendment Rights to this Website Please E-mail: Ogcsmn@ymail.com

This is a private forum, and as such none of the users have any right to anything past what the forum owner(s) and moderators allow, enforce or require.

If you wish to have a site of your own, you will make the rules and others will need to comply with said rules in order to utilize your site.

I'm quite happy here as a user, you may not be. Both of us are free to leave and not return.

I love this example. Where in the world did he get this idea? And if you want to see how Facebook feels about free speech, you should see how aggressive they are deleting accounts of art photographers or models who post a shot that somehow goes slightly over some undefined line. I have some model friends who literally have to create new accounts every couple of months.

THAT COMMENT IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bruceflinch]

Despite his post, I guess the OP has the sense not to come back & defend his position. Did he hear the hum of the ban mallet warming up???

[Turbinator]

This entertainment is certainly worth the 15 minutes it took me to go through and read every single response. Love it!!

Isn't that such a beautiful sound?

The First Amendment is irrelevant. On point is the first rule of preventing damage from Alien space radiation:

This thread made my day. Thank you OP for providing some comic relief.

Quoted for hilarity.

Again

[otalps]

The mods on this website make up draconian laws and they must be stopped. We should BAN together and fight the injustice.

I agree. This ain't over! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
