I further submit to you that the First Amendment and all others in the Bill of Rights are tied to and protected by the Second.
Most of us take our rights for granted b/c we have lived here all our lives. One has only to look abroad at despotic goverments to see what havoc and evil can be perpetrated by a bad government.

Sure, you and a bunch of guys with deer rifles are going to stand up to the US military.
Get a grip.
The militia standing against the evil government model is antiquated. The advent of more sophisticated weaponry and larger military has eliminated the feasibility of citizen resistance to our military.
But, you are probably one who thinks that private citizens should have access to any kind of weapon they can afford.
Bill Of Rights 'protected' by the second amendment? Please don't tell me you mean that you are protecting your own COTUS rights with your weapons... please... you aren't really saying that are ya?
