After reading through the entire 170 plus posts regarding the question about "Infringement of the 2nd", it appears a faintly 20% :D oppose the 27 words of the Founders. :what::what:

I am just wondering what thoughts come to mind among our very literate Bodlians :D on both sides of the aisle about this question.

It's almost Halloween. May our thoughts be just and not Inquisitional! :D Never!
 
Both.
Neither one can stand without support from the other.

We won't have the second long if we can't speak.
Circumspection about an armed citizenry tends to make the first more secure.
 
Likely the 4th. How can you really be free to say or own anything if the State can come check on you/take things at any time in any location.
 
There are many very important Amendments. Not possible to name one as more important than the rest.
 
I'm thinking it's the first amendment. From a purely historical and principled lens, everything in the first amendment represents all that we, as a people, hold (or once held) near and dear. Those five items represent (or represented at one time) the cornerstone and hallmark of our society and government.

You will notice that I used both past and present tense verbs. I'm not certain that my sentiments ring true in modern times. But that is just one man's opinion.
 
I think the 3rd comes in a close second. I would really hate having a bunch of soldiers living at my house. =)
 
The First Amendment is more important than the Second Amendment. The rights acknowledged by the First Amendment have been successfully used far more times to prevent loss of freedom than the rights acknowledged by the Second Amendment. Having First Amendment rights greatly reduces the need to resort to Second Amendment rights to preserve freedom.
