Q After numerous tragedies involving gun violence, one of our fundamental civil liberties has received quite a bit of attention from members of the public, the media, and politicians; the Second Amendment right to bear arms. Various states and local governments have different laws regulating gun ownerships (open carry laws, concealed carry laws, etc.) Many questioned how to balance our civil liberties versus public saftey when states issued "Stay at Home" orders, required the use of masks in public places, and other safety precautions in response to COVID-19. The freedom of the press has also been a "hot topic" during presidential elections and the COVID-19 pandemic. Conflict has arisen as to how the press should report news, the partisan "spin" on various news stories, etc. Should our civil liberties be reevaluated when the public is presented with a risk of harm, misinformation, or other public welfare issues? Should rights that were established centuries ago be modified, taken away, or expanded in the face of public events affecting them? Discuss.
