“The 1st amendment right to freedom of speech does not guarantee someone the right to yell fire in a crowded theater,” said Sen. Martin Looney.
The bill of rights exists to PROHIBIT the government from abridging certain rights. It does not exist to ENCOURAGE government from doing so, it is a list of COMMANDS.
And, the "fire in a crowded theater" thing again? Still? This shibboleth has been debunked so many times it's aggravating that idiot pols are still parroting it. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To prohibit a citizen from wearing or carrying a war arm . . . is an unwarranted restriction upon the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of constitutional privilege. [Wilson v. State, 33 Ark. 557, at 560, 34 Am. Rep. 52, at 54 (1878)] |
