If we do not retain our 2nd Amendment Rights, then all of the other Rights are just words written in ink on paper (or parchment) by “a bunch of old, dead, slave-owning white guys” which have no relevance in the modern world.

Which Right will disappear next? Or will the rest go one immediately after the other?

Domino Theory anyone?

Actually, the 1st amendment right to FREE EXERCISE OF RELIGION was severely attacked by this administration already.

“To assure that no government would infringe the natural rights of anyone here, the Founders incorporated Jefferson’s thesis underlying the Declaration into the Constitution and, with respect to self-defense, into the Second Amendment. As recently as two years ago, the Supreme Court recognized this when it held that the right to keep and bear arms in one’s home is a pre-political individual right that only sovereign Americans can surrender and that the government cannot take from us, absent our individual waiver.”

That's one way to approach the issue but I think it's better to just remind the opponents ~ the anti-gun crowd ~ that world literature is remarkably devoid of arguments on behalf of individual freedom of conscience until the day the Huguenots refused to lay down their arms at the end of the French Religious Wars.

They'd found that thought without a powerful personal weapon of defense was just so much jawjacking.

The Edict of Nantes also provided the Huguenots the right to build their own fortresses ~ clearly Henry IV thought that people had the right to the biggest guns of the day!
