So you think you know the 2nd Amendment

[Yossarian]

There already are limits on the First Amendment, ones that most people find reasonable. Copyright, obscenity, harmful to minors, trademark, libel, slander, threats, etc. are all restrictions on the First, which I would submit is much less ambiguous than the 2nd. Perhaps it is time to realize there are reasonable exceptions to the 2nd, as well.

But those are all restrictions on someone's actions that cause harm to others or infringe on their rights or property. I would not contend that the right to bear arms allows me to harm others or shoot or carry guns on their private property without consent. Would you say the first amendment doesn't apply to the use of the internet because it allows you to slander someone to more people faster than an 18 th century moveable type printing press?
