Sorry...here's the text:
Yelling fire in a theater...
I'm so sick of hearing anti gunners say "rights aren't unlimited. You have free speech but you can't yell fire in a theater." As a way to say that we shouldn't be allowed to have (insert gun or gun related item here)
Here's how the "fire in a theater" argument works. You can't yell fire in a theater, because doing so will cause a riot, and your speech will directly involved the death or injury of another human being. However, merely being in a theater, and being aware of where the fire extinguishers are will not cause that effect, and is not illegal.
Likewise, using a firearm to threaten, hurt or kill another human being is not protected, but merely owning a (insert scary sounding thing here) will not cause harm to another human being.
The "fire in a theater" argument was meant to show how our rights end where another person's begin. Not as a way to justify stripping away rights to make people feel good.
Any other illogical anti gun arguments you'd like to dismantle?

..and of course you can yell fire in a theatre if there actually is a fire!

Can we have the same logic applied to other rights...
The right to vote, to have an abortion, to practice the Islamic religion? I think the exact same procedures need to be followed before we allow anyone to exercise their 1st or 4th Amendment rights...
I can hear the liberals screaming now about the full background check on Voting or a 3 day waiting period for an abortion or the state deciding you cannot be a Muslim...

The liberal mafia whines and cries already whenever the notion of providing ID when voting comes up. I guess they're afraid all of their brain dead, and other assorted varieties of dead, voters won't be able to unfairly vote.
