"never seen a law that could stop it, just ones that could punish it."

Sort of agree. As I wrote in another thread:

This spurious argument has always irritated me -- it is just plain stupid.

There is not prior restraint in the 1st -- you may yell "Fire!" in a crowded theater.

You are not, however, immune from the consequences if there is not a fire.
