Agree and disagree. Neither the 1st or the 2nd amendments should be blank check. If I don't like what you say does 2nd give me the right to shoot.
But really when either go so far as to harm another party it has just gone to far (and that should violate the 1st). The Westboro Baptist church is an example of too far, so are fully automatic machine guns.
That brings up the argument that comes up that criminals will always subvert gun control laws. Fully automatic weapons are tightly controlled and mostly illegal. Criminals do not subvert these controls and laws. So does gun control work? Imagine a full auto. Yet if you live 10 miles from the nearest patrolman should you be left on your own.
I am not going to be this all or nothing proponent. No guns at all vs give me a 30 round clip or give me death.
