President Biden on Thursday announced a slew of new gun control measures after a recent pair of high-profile mass shootings, and insisted the Second Amendment doesn’t grant an absolute right to own guns.
Biden presented the executive actions in the Rose Garden, joined by Attorney General Merrick Garland and Vice President Kamala Harris.
“No amendment to the Constitution is absolute,” Biden maintained, pointing to the famous Supreme Court ruling that you can’t yell fire in a crowded theater as part of the First Amendment’s free speech clause.

Oliver Wendell Holmes made that remark as " Dictum" or "Obiter Dictum", not "Ratio Decidendi" in "Schenck v's USA" which was effectively overturned in "Brandenburg v's Ohio". So not only was it never a binding precedent it has since been overturned.
Strange women Presidents lying in pondsbasements distributing swords executive orders is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic signing ceremony.( With apologies to the Pythons)
No amendment to the Constitution is absolute.

Mmmmm....K
Then the 19th amendment is hereby repealed and women can go back to their natural place, in the kitchen

Tease.
Remember Biden’s a lawyer !

If the theater is on fire, you can yell fire. That is such stupid reasoning. Also, the 2nd Amendment was not able deer hunting.
Preaching to the Choir here.
The Constitution provides a procedure for dealing with an imperfect amendment. It’s the AMENDMENT procedure.
It is NOT via any Executive Order
“You probably didn’t hear it, but between those two incidents, less than one week apart, there are more than 850 additional shootings — 850 — that took the lives of more than 250 people and left 500 injured. This is an epidemic, for God’s sake, and it has to stop,” Biden said in the Rose Garden.”
That’s not accurate, is it?
Impeach him.
Between Joe Birdbrain, Chuck Tumor and Nazi Pelosi the Constitution will be history if Congre$$ (both Republicans and Democrats) doesn’t oppose their power grab.

Slow Joe better study up on law.
The paraphrasing differs from Holmes’s original wording in that it typically does not include the word falsely, while also adding the word “crowded” to describe the theatre. The original wording used in Holmes’s opinion (”falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic”) highlights that speech that is dangerous and false is not protected, as opposed to speech that is dangerous but also true.

Hopefully they’’ll be grateful for the opportunity to become Americans unlike many of those that were born and raised here.
No, laws are very meaningful to them ... when useful against their enemies.
Biden’s speech writer had him reference you can’t yell fire in a crowded theater

“Free speech is the right to shout ‘theater’ in a crowded fire.”

Funny how we on the right are sheltering what is left of freedom of speech in this country with Dems in charge.
That would include the authority of the government.
Thanks for the green light of insurrection!
