Yelling fire in a theatre infringes on the rights of other people. By risking their life. Simply owning weapons does not infringe on anyone elses rights.

Its illegal in many places to use profanity. That's a restriction on my freedom of speech. That barely infringes on other people's rights and goes against the free speech principle.
What if someone stole your gun and used it to kill my family? That infringes upon their rights.
Are explosives arms? What if you kept explosives in your house and they actually blew up and destroyed the house next door. That infringes upon their rights.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
