Since people don't need to use this right and its dangerous for everyone else?
Should we ban newspapers from printing pictures of Mohammad? After all, they don't really need to do it. The founding fathers didn't envisage global media and responses to such an act. They cause worldwide rioting and deaths of people. Should we ban newspapers from doing so? How is this any different from banning assault weapons?
printing pictures of Mohammad caused more deaths its aftermath than assault weapons have caused in domestic mass shootings. If we're going to stomp on one right enshrined in the Constitution, why not a different one which caused more deaths?

Yes, printing pictures of Mohammed is totally unnecessary - newspapers should not be printing images of someone who died hundreds of years ago, as he can't be part of a news story. Since printing such images causes anger and destruction, it is very irresponsible of newspapers to continue doing so.
In countries where there is strict gun control, there are no school shootings. It's that simple. On the news this morning, I heard one of the reporters say something like, 'In the latest American school shooting...' - implication being that, sadly, it's become commonplace. I'm just glad I don't live in such a violent country.
The right in the US Constitution was to enable citizens to protect themselves from the government, in days when it was possible to do so with weapons. Today's guns are far more powerful, and would not protect you against politicians anyway, so the 'right' in the constitution is actually irrelevant.

Exactly! Like cars, alcohol and bathtubs - printing pictures of Mohammad is completely unrelated to guns. Since we would never dream of banning them, how can we possibly imagine banning other things that are unrelated? It just makes sense!
