Where in the constitution does it say that everyone can own an assault weapon? Where does it say one can concealed carry without a permit?

If abortion is unconstitutional, why is it legal in California?

The Catholic Court of the United States, aka. SCOTUS did rule against the NY state limiting gun ownership.

No one said that abortion is "unconstitutional". It is also not a Constitutionally-protected right.

There was no standard definition of "assault weapon" or "assault rifle" at the time the Constitution or Bill of Rights were written. And there's not a standard definition today.

Yes, that specific NY law was deemed overly restrictive. SCOTUS also affirmed that other laws with provisions for background checks, fingerprinting, etc. were just fine.

The gun fanatics, the sub-group of gun owners, use the Second Amendment as a loophole for private gun ownership. They stretch the "well regulated militia" to mean anyone that wants a gun. They include under this umbrella any ol' kind of gun they want. They never question why the Gubment prohibits private ownership of machine guns and fully automatic firing guns however do they? I wonder why that is? Why do we entertain the discussion on gun ownership anyway? The group that says owning any and every gun & rifles they want is their God given U.S. constitutional right will never see things any other way. As long as they can be led to believe buy the NRA fueled Congressional members that any restrictions will lead to all their guns being taken away leaving them helpless against the marauding hoards or the tyrannical government out to get them and take away all their freedums the restrictions will be fought against tooth and nail the will of the people be damned.
Abortion, it may not not unconstitutional but the woman behind the case that led to overturning Roe V. Wade is being warmly welcomed by the Republican Party and is on a mission to make abortion illegal in all 50 states.

There are fewer 'getting up for political violence' sorts of the left, so far, but there are some. Reaction to the big trend on the right is natural. After not being armed for years, I got armed in Dec 2020. Don't plan on joining any disorder, but might become a refugee from some, and might need to protect myself 'on the road.'

California has a faction that hates the 'Confederate descendant' culture, wants to secede from red-state America, and is arming with that idea in mind. Probably a pretty small faction, don't really know. But pretty big percentages of Californians are at least somewhat sympathetic to the secession idea in polls, and the right sort of political turmoil/violence, say a 'successful' coup, could make that a majority.

Sorry for not making my point clear. It was not about political violence. There are an equal number of wack jobs on both sides of the political spectrum. She has guns because that’s how she was raised. My point is she is very progressive with most of her political views but very conservative with some like the Second Amendment. People should not be All in for one team or the other, that’s the root of the problem.

Got the clarification. Hard progressive left daughter not up for a fight just now.

I would dispute your 'equal numbers' claim, based on number of arrests. But did you see this piece in the Wash Post, linked by Finbow in another thread? https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...tic-breakdown/
