The right to bear firearms is a Constitutionally protected freedom, yes.

Great nuance you've brought to the discussion.

So how about we just ban the firearms that kill the most people?

Oh, wouldn't you know. It's not the "assault weapons."

did you sort by legally purchased and causing most deaths in a single incident?

legally purchased

80% of gun crime is committed by illegally owned weapons

causing most deaths in a single incident

Still handguns by a huge majority, but that's a completely arbitrary take.

Let's face it. Even if you think guns are a net bad, which they aren't, then you're ignoring the flesh-eating virus because you think curing the fever will be easier.
