Apologies in advance for yet another post about a sign spotted during Saturday’s “March for Our Lives” protest. Some ask questions that are easy to answer; for example, how many kids has the NRA killed today (zero — next question).
Others might seem to reach a little deeper, but the answers are still pretty simple to American patriots who appreciate the Constitution. For example, take this sign asking if “freedom” (in scare quotes for some reason) is more important than safety.

That’s one “yes” — do we hear another?

Oh God. I hope this is one of those Russian actors trying foment chaos at protests and not an actual product of an American education. https://t.co/C12uHx1IkE

“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
Why pick one? Gun related crimes, including homicide, have plummeted since the early '90's. You want to sacrifice freedom for safety, do it with violent offenders: fewer plea bargains and more time behind bars. https://t.co/2cus8SWtcv

I bet she's opposed to Trump's travel ban, mandatory minimums, or a lot of things some would argue increase safety, even at the cost of "a little" freedom. https://t.co/07Hzz6VdOj

Can't believe people would go into the public to show how freaking stupid they are. And yes, without freedom there is no safety! https://t.co/QG6TXlEDpr

Follow-up question: is “privacy” worth more than safety, or should Parkland students just shut up and carry clear backpacks and ID badges from now on?
Hogg: “After we come back from Spring Break, they’re requiring us all to have clear backpacks…it’s unnecessary. It’s embarrassing for a lot of the students.” #Axios360 pic.twitter.com/xvR8aP5th1
