CMV: People taking the hard line on gun rights are implicitly giving more weight to the second amendment than to any other right on the bill of rights

First off, I'm not saying that the people on the hard line necessarily mean to imply that the second amendment is the most important amendment in the bill of rights, but by taking such a hard-lined stance against any regulations, they are affording higher status to the second amendment than any other since they all have exceptions or controls in place, ie regulations, especially since the second amendment is burdened by the "well regulated militia" clause.

The free exercise of religion is not absolute. Nor is freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom to peaceably assemble, the privacy rights encapsulated by the third and fourth amendments, the right to not be compelled to self-incriminate is loosely held (just watch an interrogation), and all of the less sexy and tangible amendments also have abrogations of the common understanding of the bill of rights.

To say that it's a right to keep and bear arms as a reason against gun control is to say that the second amendment is special among the others.

Is anyone calling for the repeal of the National Firearms Act of 1934, the Federal Firearms Act of 1938, or any of the many other regulations that apply to bearing arms?


I don't think anyone is treating the 2nd amendment differently than the rest, they all have plenty of restrictions and exceptions. Too many, in some cases.
