Not really commenting on the overall topic, but I would point out that virtually all citizens agree that there is an implicit limit to the right to bear arms. No real portion of the population believes that individuals should have the right to thermonuclear weapons or aircraft carriers or attack submarines. Basically there is a largely implicit consensus that the scope of the second amendment is limited somewhere in the realm of small arms. Likewise, the freedom of expression was never extended to things like treason, inciting disorder, and defamation, although the legal standard to prove any of those is quite strict. The 1st amendment has a highly expansive scope.
