This makes a nice tagline, but the first amendment, like almost all of the other ones, has been eroded over time. For example, having to have a permit to protest in high traffic areas.

Haha. The Second Amendment lobby would throw the 1a overboard in a heartbeat if it would help them get more guns into the grocery store.

I sense someone who does not like guns...

I'm sure it was hyperbole, but how many guns do you really need at the grocery store? If it's not a zombie apocalypse, my vote is on a maximum of one, assuming you are licensed to carry it, of course.

>my vote is on a maximum of one

Depends on who has it. Might need two.

Instead of downvoting, how about listing the ways the Second Amendment has checked the power of the government in the real world?

I'm not capable of downvoting as yet.

Not unless the Second Amendment Lobby has tactical nukes, which it doesn't, because nothing else scares the US Army at this point.
