First amendment vs the second amendment

Both were designed to keep people free from government.

One side bas in the past and may have plans on weakening in the future one.

The other side is currently trying, and somewhat successful trying to weaken the other.

In my opinion both are wrong, and both should remain strong.

Thoughts?

Well our elected representatives have essentially nullified the Fourth Amendment by way of the Patriot Act, so it is logical that other amendments are in their sights. They also nullified The Great Writ, so it would be prudent to expect more such efforts.

I'm in favor of all of our individual rights, may posterity forget that those that don't were our countrymen.

That said, the enemies of liberty never frame themselves as such. Its usually a matter of their claiming that a right that shall not be infringed, or a matter in which congress shall make no law, can in fact be infringed, that such unconstitutional laws can be passed because "no right is unlimited" "Scalia said..." "living document" or whatever justification they can come up with to suit their agenda.

Either that or they give you, as I often receive from our leaders when I write them, a bull**** "but" statement like, "I support the 2nd Amendment, but..." As Tyrion said, nothing anyone says before the word but really matters.
