The idea of freedom of speech, and the Constitutional amendment that enshrines and protects that human right, doesn't exist to protect sending birthday cards to your grandkids.

In 1944 hundreds of thousands of liberator pistols were air dropped to the French resistance to fight Axis occupation.

In Myanmar today, 3d printed FGC-9 rifles are being used by rebels to resist a coup staged by the military.

In Ukraine, as I'm sure you're already aware, weaponry donated by NATO and the United States is being used in combination with improvised munitions delivered by drone to resist a large scale genocidal invasion by Russia.

Weapons are tools, no more good or evil than the person wielding the tool. Freedom of information destabilizes monopolies on violence and empowers people to communicate, organize, and defend themselves from aggressors.
