why are you purposefully missing the point? the "yelling fire" example is fairly common in discussions about the limits of free speech. of COURSE you can do it if there is an actual fire, that's not the point.

You say gun rights need to be limited because people shouldn't have military weaponry, yet that is exactly what the founders intended, if one can be intellectually honest enough to admit.

first off, how do you know that's what the founders intended? it's certainly not explicit in the 2nd amendment, so can you cite me a different source?
second, the world was a much different place 200+ years ago. it probably seemed like a good idea that the citizens have musket loaders just like the infantry. it's not such a good idea that the citizens have SAM's and M-50's.
