Its not about who causes harm. It is about two examples constitutional rights and the right of private property owners to regulate what takes place on their property. I could not fire the guy with the sign because of what he believes, I would make it clear that he cannot have a sign saying it on my property though. The same goes with the gun owner. He can keep and bear arms if he wishes, but on MY property I can have a no gun policy.

Here is another example. What if one of your kids decides to date a person that comes to your house with a "Bush is Hitler" or "Death to the 2nd Amendment" T-shirt on all the time. As the owner of the home are you telling me that you cannot tell this person that he cannot have that shirt on in your home because of his right to free speech? This isn't a strawman argument. It is a logical question that follows the view of some here that private property rules do not trump your constitional rights.

Great point. You have the right to exclude persons that are morons from your home, and from searching you private auto.

Thanks for playing, we have some parting gifts for you off stage.
