They will also mention the “fire in a crowded theater” like this author.This argument has always ticked me off to an unbearable level. "Reasonable restrictions" of the second amendment is not anywhere close to a restriction of not being allowed to yell "fire" in a crowded theater!!!! An accurate comparison would be gun control is equal to being required to wear a muzzle to prevent you from yelling "fire" before entering a crowded theater...

"This argument has always ticked me off to an unbearable level. I agree, it raises my hackles also! The “fire in a crowded theater” argument seems to always be thrown out without explaining why you should not shout FIRE ! in a crowded theater unless of course there really is a fire. In the latter case, it would be your duty to sound the alarm.

people for some reason don’t understand that there are already laws in place regarding firearm equivalent to yelling “fire” in a theatre.
there are already laws against assault, murder, menacing..
