This is my point, you are straying off topic thinking rational gun laws would threaten your right to asemble and worship. That's paranoia and makes your response very evasive to the real topic at hand. Why is it neccessary for civilians to possess these extreme this extreme type of weaponry?
If you are so eager to restrict the inherent individual rights of people in regard to the Second Amendment, why would you not be also be just as willing to restrict the inherent individual rights of people in regard to all the other amendments to the US Constitution?
Only a fool would voluntarily give up or restrict their inherent individual rights.
Why is it necessary for me to own high powered weapons? Because I deem that it is necessary. That should be sufficient. Or maybe I should just place you in front of an 800 pound charging brown bear and let you tell me what you think is necessary.

I agree, though they are just as bad as ignorrant right wing nuts fueled with anger. American politics only see black and white scapegoating one another never any middle ground.

I'd say ask a Canadian, they know how to deal with Grizzlies yet they don't seem to have as bad of an epidemic of gun violence as we do.
The mother in the Connecticut home that posssed an automatic weapon (why?) that got into the hands of a mentally unstable citizen.
It was not an automatic weapon. While, in some states anyway, it is legal to own an automatic weapon, it is a paperwork nightmare and incredibly expensive. A legally, fully auto version of the rifle I own is upwards of $15,000.

There are restrictions on the 1st amendment. You can't use speech to incite violence, false statements of fact, obscenity, child pornography, threats, and speech owned by others are all completely exempt from First Amendment protections. Commercial advertising receives diminished, but not eliminated, protection.

I know how to deal with grizzlies, plus I know how to deal with even bigger bears. I just need the right tool for the job, and that tool is a rifle or shotgun big enough to stop an 800 pound charging brown bear. Either a fully automatic or a semi-automatic large caliber weapon would be preferred, like the AA-12.

Similarly there are already restrictions on the Second Amendment. Nobody can use their inherent individual right to inflict harm upon another, except in self-defense. That includes the First Amendment as well as the Second Amendment.

But you are responsible for the harm caused by your speech, you should also be responsible for the harm caused by any gun that is registered in your name, unless it was reported stolen.
If your kid gets his hands on a gun owned by you, YOU should be held responsible for any harm caused by that gun. Keep it locked up, and out of the hands of others.
