The classic and well-worn illustration is that it is irresponsible - not to mention illegal - to shout "Fire!" in a crowded theater, though the right to free speech is one of America's most cherished. The reason for the prohibition is that people might be hurt in a stampede to escape.The Virginia-Pilot said it, I believe it, that settles it.
Stuff it, you despicable police state-demanding cowards. You can yell "Fire!" in a crowded theater--there is no prior restraint.
And yeah, right. As we've seen time and again, only the "Only Ones" can be trusted to bear arms without making us regurgitate our cuds. Leave it to effete Orwellian wimps to redefine responsibility as irresponsibility. That way, those who insist on everyone being a potential victim are the responsible ones.
I guess if they repeat that lie enough, they can look in the mirror and deem themselves, if not self-determining men, at least house slaves, and thus superior to the rougher ones in the field.
