Wait wait wait. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those "ban all guns" people (even thought it does bug the hell out of me that everyone ignores the "well regulated militia" part of the 2nd amendment), and I don't want this to turn in to some debate about banning guns because that's stupid. I've had fun going to the shooting range, and I've eaten a whole lot of delicious dead animals that my in-laws hunted, so I'm not at all "anti-gun".

But look, every constitutional right has limits: I'm a staunch defender of the 1st amendment, but even I want to see some asshole who yells "fire" in a crowded theater go to jail. Same deal here: are your rights also violated because the government won't let you bring guns in your carry on luggage?

The whole way rights work is based on this idea of a sphere of autonomy. Each of us has a little bubble around us that's our rights, and no one can fuck with that bubble normally. But when your bubble and my bubble collide, those rights have to adjust. For instance, I have every right to swing my arm around as much as I want ... until I stand next to you and swinging my arm would actually mean punching you: at that point I've lost my right to swing my arms around.

But if I'm wrong, by all means show me the Supreme Court ruling where they say that banning guns in a particular event for safety reasons is a constitutional violation.
