Partly true, HM. But consider also Ringer's Paradox: A freedom restricted is a freedom preserved. No shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater, et cetera.

Wait a second. Aren't you a...

and so am I!

Yup, and sometimes I'm an idiot... but I separate personal crap from Constitutional matters.
I am personally against abortion, I think it is morally reprehinsible... I am politically pro-choice and have been my entire life. It is very difficult, it takes a lot out of me to deal with people who are actually pro-choice (if you know what I mean)... but it is morally correct for the nation. I know that seems confusing, but makes my point better than anything else I could think of.
I know people, like my wife, who REALLY dislike guns, yet FULLY supports the second amendment and the right to own and carry handguns.

Unless you have a cannon.

If you use the cannon (and the wadding does for the theater what it did for the original London Globe Theatre), they're not going to hear you shouting anyway...

Hello, Mr. Tchaikovsky, right this way please.

IIRC it was a production of Henry V -- with artillery effects. Smouldering wadding got lodged in an overhanging eave, lit it up, and the whole place burned down.

I've been lit-up a few times with wadding from fx guns, one time in the eye. Clothes on fire is not unusual.
