But that said, no right is absolute. All rights have limitations and come with responsibilities. Freedom of speech does not include the right to falsely cry "fire" in a crowded theater. ... And gun rights advocates need to accept the fact that those rights are not unlimited-...True. But, as in the example of crying "fire" in a crowded theater, no restriction is acceptable before some harm has actually been committed.

True. But, as in the example of crying "fire" in a crowded theater, no restriction is acceptable before some harm has actually been committed. No, intent to commit harm is also restrictable before the act. Carrying a gun is a right. Strapping on a gun with the announced intent of murdering someone is probable cause for arrest.
