The 2nd Amendment makes no mention of strangulation, nor edged / pointed weapons, nor firebombs. How careless of the Founding Fathers! (Note the absence of Mighty Mothers. Sad.)

Instead, the Constitution's authors and editors required that users of firearms be organized into a well-regulated militia. Like the National Guard unit I joined after my US Army service. Folks who want to possess firearms should be well-regulated, with monthly drills -- like the National Guard or Reserves.

Undisciplined shooters are more hazardous than untrained dogs and unschooled drivers. And when firearms, knives, and ninja stars are worshiped as holy objects, well... 8-(

With extended religious freedom, a church dedicated to a 'saintly' junky (like certain jazz musicians) should legally administer heroin as a sacrament, right? For churches of some rockstars, the sacred powder would be cocaine. St Leary's followers should be dosed with LSD. Hey, religious freedom is hot!

Joe Smith, formerly convicted of fraud, 'found' the Tablets of Moroni somewhere or other -- maybe in Latin America, but more likely in his own stateside studio. Via careful 'translation', Smith revealed sacred stuff to the world. I once resided near his base of operations. Strange place, Palmyra NY. Follow the tornado damage there for a hint of how divine powers reacted to Smith's efforts.

No, I doubt Joe Smith founded LDS for revolutionary terrorism -- more for just power and sex. That worked till he was lynched. Sad. 8-)
