>The First Amendment obviously has limitations such as yelling 'FIRE' in a crowded movie house, libel, etc.
>The Second Amendment also has limitations. For example, it is a crime to brandish a firearm. There are more limitations.
Wrong. The 1st has no such limitation. in the late 19th century that theater nonsense was started to limit freedom. You can yell fire whether or not there is a fire; if there is no fire, you can be arrested for creating a panic. But a jury will decide if its justified. Preventing someone from speaking by intimidation is the same as gaging them.
You want ((them)) to define "crowded" what you say, how loud you say it, etc.?
Now define Brandish.
In NY State, a long gun on the back seat of a car was considers a concealed weapon. The law said any weapon within easy reach was a concealed weapon even if it was visible.
Now they say a concealed weapon that is licensed must be concealed at all times, any sign of it is illegal and you lose the weapon and license.
Hunters are apparently exempted. Apparently.
Brandish? Visible gun.
In some states you actually have to threaten someone with it.
Its ALL just a deliberate justification to oppress. But you have millions of dollars for a legal defense and ten years with nothing else to do, right? Well, the rest of us have jobs we can be fired from, and thats the second step in intimidation, oppression and enslavement.
The moment you let a right be defined by a judge or law, it ceases to be a right.
