Gingrich: I don't want your freedom

[lwcon]

At an event in honor of the First Amendment, Newt Gingrich said:

"(a) different set of rules" may be needed to reduce terrorists' ability to use the Internet and free speech to recruit and get out their message.

"We need to get ahead of the curve before we actually lose a city, which I think could happen in the next decade."

Here's what I can't figure out: why is freedom more important than safety to these guys when it comes to the Second Amendment, but not with the First?

Let everyone have assault rifles, but for God's sake, don't let 'em yell "peace" in a crowded war room.
