It would take a constitutional ammendment, as Texas v. Johnson has already granted it protected speech status.
That said, I disagree with banning it.
I think that one of the consequences of living in a free society is that from time to time, people will do things that offend the sensibilities of the majority of people. Fred Phelps comes to mind. So does Larry Flynt's satire of Jerry Falwell. That these actions are offensive, in my opinion, is not sufficient enough reason to ban them from the public discourse.
Vigilante justice never hurt anyone, though.
