I don't see how the "shall not be infringed" concept can be sensibly
interpreted as an "absolute" right.

  To take an extreme example - would this mean that convicts have the
RKBA while in prison?

  I don't thing that any court or reasonable (sensible?) person is going
to say that.  If I'm correct, then the right can't be considered
to be absolute.

  Which, of course, makes things much more complicated.  But we've coped
with the "falsely shout Fire in a crowded theater", and I expect we can
also cope with the fuzzy line in this context - although it may take
more court cases.
