What if the same city council were to outlaw public demonstrations in the city park because of the increased likelihood of car/pedestrian accidents, or that Wiccans were not allowed to hold outdoor religious ceremonies within city limits "for their own safety", in case their Christian neighbors took offense and decided to violently break up the ceremony? I find none of the above, nor the
potential danger to school children from adults legally carrying a concealed weapon to even begin to approach the standard of yelling 'fire' in a theater.
