Comment on Doesn't the need for a permit fundamentally contradict the US's ideals of free speech?

I’m not gonna say things are in a good place in the USA re protesting and speech.
But the permit is to assemble, and essentially temporarily hold a public space. Not to speak. You as an individual can go to a city park right now and start discussing any topic you like.
I’m not advocating anything here, just describing the permit.

Damn, you might just have given me the best argument of anyone here
I get hung up on technicalities sometimes
