You can engage in defamation without speaking. This is not a good comparison.
If you are speaking and during that time defame somebody then yes...I'd say it's entirely sensical to assert that your speech is being regulated. Defamation is the act, just as stabbing or shooting is the act. You still need to do it with something, with a weapon.
Going in circles man.
Can you regulate a right and should you be able to?

I know. But I do understand your point. I think the issue is that I see a right as something that is moral, something that a human must do in order to live as a human, and to claim that something immoral is moral, and then call it regulating rights is not right to me.

Rights are make believe philosophical play things that have no bearing on reality.
