They say your rights are being legistaled away.

As you said, the filters are not in place yet, but as the article I quoted
says, the filters are currently being tested. It is apparent in the near future
your Right to Free Speech, if you have one, is also being legislated away.

But you won't be able to in the near future.

They mainly point to the fact that your rights are being legislated away. Don't
feel bad, mine are too. I've just been trying to tell you this is going on all
over the world.  The purpose is to take away our rights, crash our economies
and place us under a global something or other.

I'm glad you fess up to you gun related deaths. 

Anyone shot by an "Agent", usually, could never be identified as such.
