Charlie T Waite Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 But what about the Second Amendment? Link to comment
Subdeacon Joe Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 The article starts off with a reference to Schenck. “The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic. It does not even protect a man from an injunction against uttering words that may have all the effect of force.” Schenck v. United States, 249 U.S. 47 (1919) If we translate Schenck to apply to the 2nd, it would read something like “The most stringent protection of the rights to keep and bear arms would not protect a man in wantonly opening fire in a public place and causing death, injury, and panic. It does not even protect a man who brandishes a firearm in public with the intent of causing fear and panic among the people.” Also, along the "rights are not unlimited" argument, I've started asking "What are the limits on abortion?"
