Yelling “fire” in a crowded theater being illegal has come up all over the place lately as an example of reasonable restrictions on a Civil Right in general and as justification for additional gun control legislation specifically. For this example to have come up so fast and so consistently makes me think it was part of a prepared strategy from those who wish to further restrict our Civil Rights.
That this is a false analogy further indicates it’s source and that it was planned. It seems unlikely to me that multiple people in multiple locations would simultaneously come up with the same false analogy. Why is yelling “fire” in a crowded theater being illegal a false analogy?
Yelling “fire” in a crowded theater is only illegal if the fire does not exist. It is perfectly legal and acceptable to yell “fire” in a theater that is on fire. In effect it is those who are calling for magazine restrictions and other firearms controls that are yelling “fire”. They are trying to induce panic by pointing out a problem that does not exist and offering as the solution to that nonexistent problem additional restriction on the Bill of Rights.
Anyone who watches election has observed that one group consistently accuses the other of election fraud as a diversion from identical activities they themselves are likely guilty. This is the same thing, simply a diversion and trying to induce panic.
