With Morgan, I absolutely agree with you. But many people (not Morgan) suddenly see the "light" when their pet issues get attacked. Try to take away the 15th & 19th Amendments and you'll see a LOT more women and blacks excerizing their 2nd Amendment rights.AndyC wrote:Oh, sure - when the gov't attacks *his* pet right, NOW it's bad?
Pffft.
ETA: Perhaps I was just raised wrong (or, rather, Right
), but it amazes me that the majority of people don't realize that the 2nd is the ONLY effective means of protecting all your other rights.Charlton Heston wrote:I say the Second Amendment is. in order of importance, the first amendment. It is America's First Freedom, the one right that protects all of the others. Among freedom of speech, of the press, of religion, of assembly, of redress of grievances, it is the first among equals. It alone offers the absolute capacity to live without fear. The right to keep and bear arms is the one right that allows "rights" to exist at all.
