If we can ban guns, a right that is protected by the Second Amendment, does it not follow that we can also ban Muslims, a right protected by the First Amendment?

The hoplophobes like to claim the Second Amendment protects muzzle-loading flintlocks, as those are the arms extant at the time the Constitution was written.

By that logic, we can respond that the First Amendment “press” clause protects only single-sheet manually-operated printing presses.
