Reply #48: And you have to do those things because the exercise of your right

[EricTeri]

DIRECTLY infringes upon others rights.

Your desire to have a parade or a protest could limit the right to others of free travel, for example. The permit process does not prevent one from having a protest either and they aren't denied if you're expressing the "wrong" views.

Slander directly violates another's rights.

Your examples are not restrictions on a right. In the first case (parades/protests) they are a real-world compromise to allow free exercise of a right without limiting other's rights. In the second case, it is a punishment for violating someone's rights.

Owning and carrying firearms does not harm anyone. It does not infringe anyone's rights.

A direct free speech comparison would be gagging everyone who enters a theater unless and until they can prove they will not irresponsible yell "fire". Would you permit this? Of course not.
