If good citizens are not willing to stand up against tyranny, the we deserve the bad government that we get. You can fight city hall, but it isn't easy or popular and expect that city hall will fight back. Remember there is a difference between "freedom" and "liberty."
Absent mechanical restraints, I am free to swing my hands and arms any way that suits my fancy or to shout whichever words come to mind.
However, I do not have liberty to do so in ways that involve your nose or involve deceptions about fire in a crowded theatre.
... at least not in a civil society.
No law on any books will prevent any behavior except in those who are otherwise inclined to comply with the law in general or the specific law under consideration. Notice that some people are called "outlaws" for a clear reason ... they ignored the laws as written.
but I digress,
