Notes on laws:
--You are free to say whatever you like about anybody, so long as everybody else is perfectly capable of ignoring everything you say.
--Freedom of assembly is limited to private property, with permission. (This is only ever enforced if a mob forms or a group of people are obstructing road traffic. So, outdoor parties are, of course, allowed, but your plan to hold up traffic as a protest against <insert grievance here> isn't gonna fly.)
--Possession of loaded offensive firearms is illegal. This includes: rifles firing cartridges of calibre larger than 8 mm, semi-automatic, and fully automatic weapons, as well as weapons that fire explosive or incendiary ammunition. Possession of a loaded firearm that violates any of these conditions is grounds for a fine and confiscation of the firearm and/or any ammunition the suspect may possess on his or her person. Brandishing (a) loaded weapon(s) in public is grounds for immediate arrest and detainment for up to 48 hours.
