Gun control laws in California and beyond in peril as Supreme Court expands 2nd Amendment - Lemmy.world

What other right can simply be denied to adults? Do you have to get permission from the government to exercise free speech? Can you be denied your right to remain silent based on what state you live in?

Treating the 2nd Amendment like a first-class right is hardly ‘expanding’ it.

Iirc there was already some cases that decided that the government does have to right to decide what types of weapons you can own.
And what kind of speech you can say. For example, hate speech, incitements to violence, and of course yelling “fire” in a crowded theater.

yelling “fire” in a crowded theater

Is part of an overturned court case. And even before it was overturned, the limit wasn’t that you couldn’t yell ‘fire’, the limit was you couldn’t create harm people via your actions. (Ex, if there was a fire, you did nothing illegal by saving others).

To circle this back to the 2nd Amendment. One can own and carry a gun, one can even save others with their firearm, one cannot murder people.
