[Noisebridge-discuss] California Lawmaker Wants 3-D Printers To Be Regulated

[LinkReincarnate]

No, violent speech has been around forever.  It's only recently that it has
been criminalized. The problem isn't the speech, it's the politicians (and
public schools) reactions to said speech that is the problem.  Ten years
ago this type of hyperbole (cause lets be honest no one thinks that anyone
who talks like that is really going to do anything) wouldn't have caused
anyone to bat an eyelash.  Today kids on facebook are being put in jail for
mentioning the boston bombing in a rap, the government interprets the law
to not require a warrant to search your email, and in fact is archiving
every piece of said communication as we speak.   If you believe in free
speech at all you have to protect even speech that offends you.  That
includes violent speech.
