Possession of child pornography is like possession of stolen goods - it is an item that was created illegally, therefore it is illegal to trade in it. Purchase or other support of child pornography makes it a profitable business that harms more and more children. There is definitely a victim.

Automatic weapons are the best defense and are the primary 'arms' protected for private ownership by the Constitution. Any law limiting access to combat firearms is unconstitutional.

Gambling - I don't care, should not be illegal.

Drug use often results in great harm to people other than the user, therefore it is subject to restriction.

--- HOW THE LAW WORKS ---

Our basic Rights are spelled out in the Declaration of Independence and the laws to protect them in the Constitution. Aside from that, says the Constitution, it is up to the people of each state to decide and vote on what is socially acceptable to them based on their own moral preferences.

In the words of Robert Bork, no activity that society thinks is immoral is victimless. Knowledge that an activity is taking place is a harm to those who think it is profoundly immoral.

Wow, speakeasy! Excellent answer! Thumbs up!
