Re: Second Amendment Under Continued Threat

Well, I'm going to be pilloried for this. I think get rid of the
second
Amendment, the right to bear arms. I just think in the grand scheme of
the
rights that we have; the right of assembly, free speech, I mean,
owning a
gun does not, it does not tally on the same level as those other
Constitutional rights.
----
self-defense should always be held as the most important right ...
without it your ability to speak and assemble can be eliminated
