No, you proved my point. Rights are not absolute. We do not have an absolute right to freedom of speech. We do not have an absolute right to freedom of press. We do not have an absolute right to keep and bear arms.

You can not legally commit perjury, produce child porn, or own a nuclear missile. Why? Because your right of freedom of speech (not free speech but freedom of speech, it is an important distinction), freedom of press, or right to keep and bear arms, like all rights, is not absolute.

Why don't you try again.

If i thought that trying again would help you understand the difference between exercising your rights and violating anothers (as i stated in the first place) - I would.

Punishing people for violating anothers rights is not a restriction of rights
