The 2nd Amendment is the “most fundamental” for without it all other rights become purely discretionary.

Starr's an ass. Amendment XIV guarantees all citizens' rights that are enumerated in the Constitution specifically to the citizens of the several states. Amendment X says, very specifically, that powers NOT granted to the United States and NOT prohibited by the Constitution to the States, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

1) ''Free speech'' (sadly, subject to redefinition ad hoc by the court system) is ensured by Amendment I.
2) Amendmenr XIV prohibits the several states from barring or infringing upon ''free speech''.
3) The ''people'', however defined, constitute the government of each of the several states.
4) Amendment X does not grant the power to infringe upon ''free speech'' to the United States, and DOES prohibit that power of infringement from the several states, and thus to the ''people'' of the several states, and more specifically any state in particular.

Ergo, the people of any state do NOT have the power to infringe upon ''free speech''.

Q.E.D., and Starr is STILL an ass.
