I certainly don't like the KKK, and I'd be perfectly happy if their organization just ceased to exist, but while they do exist, I don't think their right to assemble should be taken away, something that's guaranteed by our Constitution.
Just showing why I think he should not be allowed to do what he plans on doing.

"In the ways we are discussing" which are those again? The oppression of freedom of assembly? Like that sheriff that was granted the power to deny permits of protests in front of the golf club in Georgia?
well america is a democracy and although our liberty is always under assault (liberty of government for the people, by the people), doesnt mean we're ready to give in and live your dream dictatorship. over 50% of americans support stricter laws. this is a proper approach. most americans dont want a complete ban. so we wont have one until that changes. thats fact, and that fact pleases me.

Actually America is a republic. But Canada is not a dictatorship, we simply realize that certain controls on freedom are necessary.
