“If I had to choose between freedom of speech and my gun, I’d choose my gun…”

“If I had to choose between freedom of speech and my gun, I’d choose my gun. Then I’d say what I want because I have a gun” is a Bill of Rights saying that has been printed on many images.
     
“‘If I had to choose between freedom of speech and my gun, I’d choose my gun. Then I’d say what I want because I have a gun.’ ~~ Anon” was posted on Twitter by Esther Lee on June 4, 2009. The saying probably originated on an image.

If I had to choose between freedom of speech and my gun, I’d choose my gun (and then say whatever I want because I have a gun) 😛

If I had to choose between freedom of speech and my gun, I would pick my gun.
Then I could say whatever I wanted… because I have my gun.

If I had to choose between Freedom Of Speech and My Gun, I’d choose my Gun.
(Then I can say whatever I want, cause I have a gun.)

If I had to choose between the freedom of speech and my gun, I’d choose my gun.
And then I’d continue to say whatever the hell I want because I have a gun.
