  • Hard disagree, the difference between “Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech… or the right of the people peaceably to assemble…” and “well regulated militia” is night and day. If they wanted to regulate this conduct they have a lot of hurdles to go through. For example if they wanted to ban the display of flags, you would need to either show it doesn’t impact speech (it does) or get over the strict scrutiny standard which is famously difficult to overcome. Also it needs to be written by congress or a more local form of government, not at the wims of a president.

    The fact that several species in Australia are now extinct kinda shows cats do harm bird populations. Cats are usually an invasive species and hundreds of them in an area can decimate local wildlife. Overcrowding only kill birds when there are too many, while cats will always kill birds. There are definitely places where it matters more, like on small islands, but in general any invasive species can massively shift ecosystems.
