As I said, the criminal code handles that. That is why we have a criminal code. If you punch someone without it being (a) consented or (b) under an accepted definition of self defense, you will be arrested, charged and prosecuted for assault and battery (unless the victim didn't see the punch coming, then it might just be battery). There is no point in conflating the criminal code and the 1st amendment. One has nothing to do with the other.
