If we were to drag the 1st Amendment into the discussion (which is off topic BTW) it should be pointed out that Slander and Liable and Defamation all are tortous, merely owning a firearm is not, it is neutral object that does nothing unless utilized.
To reach for an analogy your position would have mere written words declared illegal to write even in the privacy of ones own home, they would be mala in se, just like the fruit of the 2nd amendment is with 20,000 firearms laws.
Pass “laws” that make twenty thousand words illegal write, and then we may have a “level” playing field for the discussion.
And I did not “savage” gwB over this, not at all.

IMO we do need some laws regarding firearms. People convicted of violent felonies shouldn’t be allowed to own one. Funny how this law hasn’t worked so far though but it seems reasonable.
Automatic weapons should be legal to produce and own but I don’t want a tank. Couldn’t afford the upkeep or parking fees.
The current trend of making more and more crimes adequate justification to revoke 2nd Amendment rights needs to stop.
