‘That again ...

I’d say you have a positive OBLIGATION to yell “Fire” (and pull the fire alarm) in a crowded theatre if there actually is a fire.’

But of course the point is that virtually no one (crucially including the Supreme Court) supports allowing yelling it in a fireless theater. The harm of allowing that would greatly outweigh the good. Thus, there is a legal limit on free speech. A similar approach applies to “arms”.

As to your desire for private citizens to own any weapon whatsoever with no restrictions, I’ll have to respectfully disagree... :-)

And that is why we do not discharge them recklessly in public. Has nothing to do with "keeping and bearing" them.

You can disagree with the Constitution if you like ... lots of liberty-hating leftists do. Expect a fight if you try to change it or subvert it.

When the 2nd was written private citizens could legally buy and outfit a battleship (of the time).
