I believe that one major civil liberty that should never be changed is freedom of speech. We are a privileged country to have this right. We as a people don’t always recognize how important it really is until we see on the news another country that does not have this right. Countries without this liberty cannot speak out against their ruler or anything that goes against what their ruler’s views are. If they do punishment can be as brutal as death. So this is one right that can never be changed because it has too much meaning and if it were to change we would have some serious problems. However, one civil liberty that I wouldn’t mind if it changed is the right to bear arms. This is one right that concerns me in some regards. One major problem with this right is how many people that are killed by guns per years…it’s staggering. Also the fact that those people who died lives could have been saved if it wasn’t a right. The right could even be modified that anyone who has a gun must take a safety class and that these classes are being taught correctly. In addition people who are not physically and mentally able to have guns or any fire arm should not have this right. This is primarily a safety right and right now I believe that it is not very safe. All in all the liberty of freedom of speech should not be changed but, the right to bear arms should for the given reasons.
