That depends very much on the regulation. Certainly, the Bill of Rights applies to the states. Certainly, the principle should stand that exercising a right does not provide a justification for taking away the rights of others, or of doing another harm. Other limitations without those excuses are generally rejected, often by the US Supreme Court.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
