Didn’t there used to be something in the Bill of Rights about the right to assemble?

That was when we had a Bill of Rights. That was when we were governed according to the parameters set forth in the Constitution. That was before the people demanded that the Government take their Rights and assume their responsibilities and make them “secure”. That time was long ago and never to return.

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

FWIW – note the word “peaceably”.
