Rights have hierarchies. (that is why it is illegal to shout "fire" in a movie theater. The right of life, is higher than the right of free speech.)
The right to property. If you own it, you have control over it. So, you can, on your property say, no guns and control speech.
Creating a "free speech zone" is in violation of the first amendment.
Having a concealed carry permit is in violation of the second amendment. Also it is selling someone the ability to break the law. Making a law, and then allowing some people to break the law, if they pay up, is extortion.
If there IS a fire in the movie theater...then let em burn...is that what you want?
Your argument is thus....invalid.
I just realized you might not know what I am talking about...
It is a typical example used when actually discussing the limits of rights.
The freedom of speech vs. yelling "fire" in a theatre (when there is no fire)
(also concerning a time when theatres were much more combustible)
With the freedom of speech, you should be able to say anything you want a public space. (legally speaking)
If you yell "fire" in a crowded theatre, then many people will be hurt as they stampede the exits. So, if you yell "fire", when there is no fire, then you are intentionally hurting people.
So, at the end, you have freedom of speech vs. human lives.
And in this specific instance, the law has come down on the side of human lives. It is illegal for you to yell "fire" in a theatre.
I just woke up so I'm not going to provide links or anything...this is a memory thing.
The "screaming fire in a crowded theater'thing actually happened. The problem was that the theater owner had locked all the fire excape doors. (chicagoI think...suprising huh?)...
People were crushed to death...
chicago...(the mob?)...how surprising.
To reinterate: what if there IS a fire?
The damn fire alarm goes off.
OR
Someone yells fire and it is not an issue because there really IS a fire.
What are you trying to get at McDicky?
No no no, that is just the fire in the movie.... everything is ok... that is just the new added feature of smell.
They've added smell to movies now... its the latest craze. That's why you smell smoke
:-p
