The Second Amendment Doesn’t Have an Asterisk

FBI Director Kash Patel’s recent comments about firearms at protests sparked a needed reminder: the Bill of Rights isn’t a buffet. Carrying a firearm at a peaceful protest remains constitutionally protected, while criminal behavior, like interfering with law enforcement, brings its own legal consequences. The danger lies in blurring that line. When officials imply that lawful carry equals a threat, they unintentionally hand ammunition to those eager to chip away at constitutional rights.
