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

EVERYTHING you do in the USA is illegal. This is not hyperbole.
Any right you think you have is stripped by another law also on the books. You are always and forever in breach of the law. This allows you those with no education and power like police and DAs to pick and choose who and what to prosecute. If everyone is in breach, it doesn’t make it legal. It just makes it a game of “don’t piss off your oppressor”. This is the same game used in North Korea. Same in the USSR. Same in many fascist nations with an illusion of democracy.
