The first amendment has its place among the other nine as a gatekeeper, and with it's destruction, the others will fall.
The first amendment is under attack in this country,and if you think that they won't come and take your guns after they're done taking your freedoms of religion and speech, think again. Wait until they tell you can no longer go into the public square and proclaim that you believe in Jesus Christ or Buddha or whatever the case may be.
In some attempt to seem accommodating, they'll redefine freedom of religion into freedom of worship. Meaning that you can do what you want to in private, but don't you dare come out among the rest of us and start proclaiming anything resembling a religious view. Especially a Christian point of view.
Wait until they take your freedom of speech away. Or have they already? How many of you are afraid to express your beliefs and opinions freely on Facebook or Twitter because you might be labeled? How many of you fear you could lose employment if your true opinions and beliefs were known? Even if those opinions or beliefs are based in your choice of religion? If so, then you've been silenced already and political correctness was the tool that shut you up. Your freedom of speech has been effectively taken from you without so much as a whimper.
Now, back to the second amendment... After they have marginalized most of us into hiding who we are and what we believe, the government will tell the rest of the sheeple in this nation that "we had to take their guns because they are extremists, they're crazy and they're dangerous, they break the law and they're criminals, and they can't be trusted. That's why we took their guns." And you won't be able to defend yourself with words of conviction because you've given up your freedom of speech...your first and second amendments will be gone!
Without the first and second the third will fall, and so on and so on until you have no freedom left, because all of our God given rights supposedly protected, are predicated on the prior amendment.
I have been quite outspoken among my peers these last few years, and those who really know me know that I have been outspoken about our government's abusive tendencies before I ever heard the name Barack Obama.

In recent years I have approached some of you at my work, in my church, or on some other various path my daily life takes me down and I've asked you to speak up. I've encouraged you to stand up with me and for yourself... I've been disappointed time and time again because you've said nothing. You still think that "this is America, and it can't happen here". Well, it's happening right in front of your eyes!!!
If asked, most of you would probably say that you care about your kid's future. Any prosperous futures for our kids are not hinged on what college they get in to or what job they get.

Their future, OUR FUTURE, depends on FREEDOM and the Bill of Rights.
