Right-Wing Domestic Terrorism

 "Why is it so hard to make progress when it comes to right-wing domestic terror?" asks an analyst in a CNN article.

 I should think the answer is obvious:  Right-wing domestic terrorism is a right, pretty much guaranteed by the Constitution.  Wannabee terrorists have the right to freely assemble; their hateful words and ideology freely spread through their right to free speech; they can own as many guns as they can afford because of our interpretation of the Second Amendment as well as form themselves in to what they call militias.

More than simply exercising their rights, right-wing domestic terrorists find companionship, support, resources, or at the very least, a sense of validation of their beliefs and justification of their actions in the free press of the dark web.

But why can't these tendencies be addressed through educational programs or counseling or deprogramming, the ask?  

But how effective can such largely voluntary efforts be, especially when such programs are basically trying to stop someone from exercising a Constitutionally protected right?  Also, trying to stop someone from exercising a Constitutionally protected right will meet with major opposition from both "liberals" and "conservatives"
who want to defend those rights, in principle, at the very least.  

And so, just as with gun violence, our society is based on the individual's right to express even their worst tendencies, because the rights of the individual have precedent over the rights of the community.

Unfortunately, we as a society, do not seem to have the maturity and wisdom to figure out how to protect our community, and as individuals, to understand and respect the fact that a community has rights that can be trampled upon by an individual.

It is not the law that is lacking it is that we do not believe in our Constitution's preamble and its vision, that we want "a more perfect union" and not just a collection of super-empowered individualists.
