“in such a way that the actual and reasonably foreseeable effect is to undermine generalized political support for the Second Amendment is no genuine friend of the Second Amendment.”

Well stated. Given the current environment, what is the difference between what this guy did and yelling fire in a crowded theater?

Now that I think of it the left is yelling fire in a theater all the time. Lately they’ve been yelling racism in a crowded diverse country.

Do note that Mr. Artemis did not state anything. He just posted what he read online recently.

Your thinking is exactly wrong. And exactly what the left wants to foment....which is, "please don't do anything to offend"

How many times have I read on this forum: "why did nobody fight back with these shooters ?"; or "We should be like Israel where everybody open carries"; or "if the shooters had seen people like Dimitry first, they never would have opened fire."

And spare the hell out of me the yelling fire in a theater comparison. Go campaign with Joe Biden if that is your thought process.

You have a 2nd amendment right, if you choose to keep it.

In Israel, open carry of slung rifles is common. The problem is our "current environment", which is becoming exactly what the left wants...knee-jerk anti-gun. The fool store manager who pulled the fire alarm is more to blame than the person acting in full obedience of the law.

Actually, they are different. One of them is totally LEGAL!

As for the other, I am against limiting speech in ANY way.

You should be allowed to shout “FIRE” in a crowded theater, while carrying an AR-15, while wearing a T shirt that says “Bill Clinton is a rapist”.

If someone shouted “fire” in a crowded theater, I wouldn’t panic. I’d say “where’s the fire? Where’s the smoke?

If someone shouted “fire” in a crowded theater, I’d say “Sit down and shut the hell up!”
