81. Communitarianism is only a denomination (if you will) of Liberalism |

Communitarianism has boundaries that encroach on left-wing libertarianism, which is really what the Bill of Rights codifies.
Hate speech is also bad for communities, and, indeed, many communities that have the option of banning it (such as private universities) have done so. Hate speech is, however, protected by the First Amendment, in the same way that gun ownership is protected by the Second Amendment.
As far as communities go, gun violence is usually a symptom of other problems — problems that can, and should, be addressed.
