It doesn't. Simple posession of a firearm is a threat to no one.Question:
On what basis is the right to free speech restricted?
Answer:
When the speech in question causes harm to someone, or places somene under a clear and present imminent threat of same.
Apply that to the 2nd amendment. Done!
In what way does the rifle on my wall pose a clear and present imminent threat to you?
So why equate it with freedom of speech?. The second amendment does not give me the right to use a firearm indiscriminately, it only affirms my right to arm myself "uninfringed" or without restriction.
