"What exactly are you implying, that an individual has no right to peaceably assemble and petition the government but that he or she can only do it in a group?"

Where did, "petition the government" come from? Not from anything I said. Are you just making things up as you go along? Having a problem with reading comprehension?

Don't put words in my mouth. Comprende?

The freedom to assemble is an individual right that is only exercised collectively. Like voting. Or bearing arms.

You have a very strange way of comprehending the Constitution just from the very few posts I've read of yours. The right to assemble is an individual right, one person can do it or a million can do it.

You're making a very amateur attempt to define some liberties that can only be exercised "collectively" as a way of justifying gun control. If I want to go stand outside the WH with a picket sign I'm free to do it, and so are you. It's not a right that can only be exercised collectively.

Wow, you don't think there's an individual right to bear arms?

That's pretty funny.
