Mixed feelings about this. Yes, shall not be infringed, but like speech, you cannot randomly yell fire in a crowded theatre. Maybe we are due for a complete reset of the Second Amendment--all federal, state, and local laws that infringe it are null and void.

But thereafter, what is reasonable? A truly mentally ill person shouldn't be allowed firearms but that needs careful oversight and due process. A convicted violent criminal shouldn't either. Maybe the solution on the latter is that they should have been executed or in jail for life, thus removing the issue. Someone charged with a violent crime and released on bail? Okay, keep them in jail.

Karma if Hunter Biden becomes the poster child to reset the Second Amendment.

Please identify the crime associated with yelling fire in a crowded theater. I don’t believe it is against the law and I challenge you to show me that it is.

Love the sinner, hate the sin.
Yelling fire is the act to hate.

That’s not an illustration to compare to restricting the gun rights of citizens.

Shall not be infringed, and the Bruen declarations fit nicely together. A reasonable interpretation of Originalism.

Yes, you can yell fire in a theatre, but, you have to pay the penalty, for that action alone and/or if anyone gets hurt. However, you do not lose the 1st Amendment right, to continue to say fire or for that matter, speak at all, because of that.
