What consequences. Growing up we had so many fire drills in school all we learned was to ignore the fire alarm. Someone screaming fire is background noise. Unless we actually see the fire we're not going to react.
I still remember this one time the school actually was on fire. They had to tell everyone multiple times over the pa this is not a test, the cafeteria actually is on fire, please evacuate the building immediately.
Flip it over. Even with zero restrictions on guns, it is still against the law to murder with one or intimidate. IMO there should be no restrictions on guns or speech, only the responsibility of using them.
The gov't doesn't need to control the media or put any limitations on first amendment rights. What needs to happen is the media needs to be held accountable, just like every other business.
Companies can't put out false financial reports without the execs risking jail time. There are a million things companies can't do, like commit fraud. The media should be held to similar standards.

Patriots, yes. The Left has shown they cannot self-govern though (see blue cities). They need "supervision" and assume we do too.
