Re: Which is more important: Freedom of Speech/Assembly or the Right to Keep & Bear A
this appears to be a strawman, as most protests over the last 40 years in the USA have not been armed.
If the people are unarmed what will stop the government from taking away your other rights? Scream I have free speech while armed men arrest you or shoot you? Write a angry letter to a politician while you are in your jail cell for saying something the officials dislike? Free speech and the right to bear arms are equally important.
