Licensing is a form of permission asking. You ask permission to have something, and are given a permit for it. Something which requires permission is not a right, it's a privilege. If to own and bear arms is a right, then you don't need the government's permission to exercise that right if you so choose.
That's right.
No matter how much damage libel or slander may cause (and, given that it is banned, it must cause a lot), you STILL do not need to ask the government permission - that is, to get a license - to exercise your right to free speech.
Its funny -- those that don't bat an eye at the idea of licensing the right to arms will scream like a stuck pig if you suggest licensing the right to free speech.
