Limits of liberty

That headline is gonna scare the Libertarians.  Boo!  I don't care.

In the wake of all the latest mass shootings, those who want to ban assault weapons note that, after a single Muslim terrorist made his shoes into bombs, anyone who gets on a plane has to take off his or her shoes while going through security.  They wonder why, after so many mass shootings, we don't seem to take *that* problem seriously enough to do a single thing about it.

Second Amendment absolutists might argue that the Constitution doesn't guarantee us the right to wear shoes.  That would be true, but not helpful.

I had more or less made up my mind, as a lover of the Bill of Rights, to shut up about the Second Amendment, troublesome as it is.  But it occurs to me that common sense dictates limitations to our rights under the other amendments.  I would consider myself more dedicated to the First Amendment than the average citizen, but even so, I recognize libel and slander as harmful things that are rightfully exceptions to our freedom of speech.

If there are limits to the rights granted by the other amendments, why not the Second?
