Yelling fire in a crowded theater is not an issue with the first amendment, it's an issue of public endangerment.

Likewise, shooting someone in the face is not an issue with the second amendment, it's an issue of murder.

Actions endanger others, not words or inanimate objects. Amendments to the US Constitution are absolute.

Exactly. It’s not illegal to yell “fire” if there’s a fire. It’s illegal to cause harm to others purposely or maliciously.
