Surely you wouldn't use the limit on shouting fire in a theater to limit political speech?

That is basically what you are preparing to argue here with the 2nd Amendment, even though I assume (correct me if I am wrong) you would never make that argument with the 1st Amendment.

Then again, maybe you are ok with limiting "hate speech" (which is to say, political speech you don't like) as opposed to merely limiting directly inciting speech.

I thought we (you and I) at least agreed on free speech. No new limits. Allow hate speech...so we know where all the assholes are.
