When would you ever "need" to be able to petition the government? When would you "need" to be able to keep the government off your property without reasonable cause? When would you "need" to be able to protest in D.C.?
Our rights are not based on what you "think" one may or may not "need".
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

The "Peewee Herman" response (definition: any of the infinite variety of responses that equate to, "I know you are but what am I?").
Like most leftists when arguing this subject, you've devolved to childhood again.
This is how folks see that you fully comprehend your argument is nonsense. Yet still you cannot stop yourself from saying something stupid. Get the iron away from the wrinkles in your brain! It would be more entertaining if you could enter the conversation as an adult. Clearly define what you want to ban and why, and understand that the 2nd Amendment will need to change or be repealed to get it done.

You’re a well known liar, Pmp. Many news agencies reported it and both Ted Cruz and Mike Pence condemned it. If you weren’t such a demented dumbass, you’d realize the only reason Trump said it was because he’s a demented dumbass. Even Fox News knows it:

Why Trump’s ‘termination’ of Constitution, demanding reinstatement or do-over, has set off alarms

Trump calls for the termination of the Constitution in Truth Social post

Cruz: “Of course” Trump was wrong to call for terminating Constitution
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz denounced former President Donald Trump for suggesting a “termination” of the Constitution in order to overturn the 2020 election, while also framing the comment as an oversensationalized distraction. The Texas Republican offered his remarks three days after Trump’s initial comment and after prodding from reporters.
“Oh listen, of course what he said was wrong,” Cruz told Nexstar on Tuesday. “But I also think the media is engaged in a feeding frenzy. I’ve never seen reporters so excited as to run up to every Republican and say, ‘Please, please, please attack Donald Trump.’”
Cruz, a self-identified constitutionalist who prides himself on having memorized the Constitution as a youth, made the comment after Trump called in a Truth Social post Saturday for “the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution” in order to rehash the 2020 election.
