Should all journalist be required to have background Checks and be licensed by the Federal, state and local?
Governments so they can be published on searchable web sites? It has been said many times that the "Pen is mightier than the sword", so, are Journalist armed thugs? Is their right to publish under the 1st amendment greater than our rights under the 2nd amendment?
Amendment II
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
Have They infringed upon that right?

Why not?
What purpose do Gun licenses serve other than to harass Law abiding citizens? Show where one has ever saved a single life in the USA. Criminal don't bother with getting one! I don't have a gun now but have had them when I was younger in Wyoming, but sure glad that many neighbors have them!
Words have killed many people. Just read the news! People committing suicide because of cyber bullying, are these not just words? People committing Mass Murder because of Bullying, Just Words!

A background check and licensing would serve what purpose?I would think that some sort of background check is done before hiring a journalist, or anyone for that matter. What would you like that license to be called? We are not all poets. I can understand your issues if a journalist wants to bring an Uzi in to the editing room, but the last time I heard about words killing someone was..well..never.
