Which amendment is more important?
Out of the first two amendments on the US Bill of Rights, which do you think is more important?
The first amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The second amendment:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

They're both equally important to me. I like having my firearms, and being able to own them and [i]not[/i] break the law is pretty great. That, and no asshole is going to stop me from intervening in a bad situation with a .38 in my hands.

The second one, that way we can use our guns to secure the first!

One I guess Two kinda flew out the window once it became easy to pay someone who frequents off topic to pilot a drone and push a button.

1 ReplyThe first one doesn't even really exist anymore as far as free speech goes. It's so trampled on its not even funny.
-
To the people who say that they can get the first with the second, that is ridiculous. You would lose when going against the government
-
If you got a gun, you can say whatever the fúck you want.
-
Don't see why the second one would protect the first
-
7 Replies>46 votes for the second I guess it's still good to see the majority of this place has their mind in the right place and considers the first more important than the second. On topic though, bearing arms should not be considered a right in the first place and the second amendment deserves to be repealed.

All of them are equally important and necessary.
-
Well, the second ammendment's point is to make sure the first amendment can't be taken away
-
If one has more of a right to a firearm than they do to an opinion, that could allow for someone to remove your opinion with their firearm. That would be a much more horrific state of affairs than if they removed your firearm with their opinion.
-
The right for freedom of speech is more important than the right to be armed. It would be much easier to repel the first and then the second than to repel the second and then the first. [spoiler]Also, if you try keeping your guns and fighting back, have fun with your house being bombed by a drone. [/spoiler]

if your government has gone to the tyrannical approach to remove the first amendment; They have no problem removing any rights from any citizen. So yea thats why the 2nd amendment is kinda there; to protect the security and rights of the people [spoiler]btw a militia is [b][i][u]NOT[/u][/i][/b] the US Armed Services but one of volunteer citizens who answer only to the citizens they represent [/spoiler]

The 2nd, without it we wouldn't be able to ensure we have the 1st, or any others for that matter.
