You can still see consequences from yelling "fire" in a crowded theater. Let's not pretend that there can be no reasonable constraints on these things.
Ps. WHERE IS THE WELL REGULATED MILITIA?
With respect to yelling "fire" - you're not charged with the speech, you're charged with inciting the ensuing panic.
With respect to the militia - the words "the people" are used in several places in close proximity to the usage in the Second Amendment. The meaning of "the people" in the Second Amendment can't be construed to mean "the militia" without some serious mental gymnastics.
Iirc there was already some cases that decided that the government does have to right to decide what types of weapons you can own.
And what kind of speech you can say. For example, hate speech, incitements to violence, and of course yelling "fire" in a crowded theater.
Hate speech is legal and incitement to violence has to be imminently dangerous. AFAIK all limitations of speech have to do with immediate public safety
And numerous forms of protest too. Anything that gains traction is then declared a "riot" or "illegal assembly" and dealt with harshly.
None of these 2A supporters seem to care that you need a permit to protest or register to vote, but ask for people to get even the most basic of training before purchasing an object specifically designed to kill people and suddenly its "but muh rights!"
The right to life and liberty, by any gun owner, at any moment, for any reason.
Murder is illegal, but the supreme court has said that it's okay to sell murder weapons to people who are obviously going to commit murder.
Because the right-wing nutjobs hate background checks, and red flag laws and anything else that slows down the constant murder.
That's very specific.... what 1st degree? What about 2nd degree murder (heat of the moment kills)?
Don’t waste your time with GOP/Nazi members. They are a death cult. Killing others is what they love more than anything in this world.
You're in for a rude awakening if you believe that only GOP and Nazis own guns. There's a reason Reddit has a liberal gun owners sub. Lefties just tend to be less vocal about it.
POV: You don't know what the words "well-regulated" mean
"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."
I am just courious. What does that whole statement mean to you?
That was decided by a different SCotUS before I was born. Quite literally doesn't matter what it mean to us.
