The right to peaceably assemble is associated with petitioning the government for redress of grievances. It doesn’t stand on it’s own.

It could.

It could very well read......*the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.* which would be together, indicating the purpose of the assembly is for petitioning the Government,

to

*the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and (the right of the people) to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.*

So now the Bible Study needs to become an assembly to peaceably petition the Government for a redress of grievances, since it is clearly overstepping its bounds.

Actually, it better be able to stand on its own, otherwise you've just given the government blanket permission to prevent peaceable assembly for any other reason than the express purpose of petitioning the government for a redress of grievances.
