Every liberty carries with it danger and, with it, responsibility. Who can deny that speech can be abused, even leading to death? Who can say that the freedom to assemble has not led to abuse, and death?
Any restriction to the individual right to arms should be tested against any and all other rights. Background check for a gun? Fine, try background check to vote. Magazine restriction? Try restricting how many people can meet together for any reason. Cosmetic restrictions like a black stock? Fine, try restricting what you may say in public. How about a medical test before sex? After all, AIDS kills and injures far more people than firearms..
