Good thinking T-girl! I just don't know if you could find a large, assorted group to back the 2nd Amendment. Now the 1st Amendment, no problem. There is always hope though.
Yes, HJ! And that's why the emphasis should not be put on each amendment separately, but on what they mean to every American as a unified document. It's a slippery slope, especially with the way our judicial system is set up-- we've deemed it constitutional to be unconstitutional with regard to the 2nd amendment, so why not the others...
People like their freedoms, but only fight for the ones they personally exercise. Folks in Colorado appear to be more concerned with their right to hang with Mary Jane than what capacity of mags they can have. If you appeal to the idea that the breadth of freedom extends well passed the 2nd amendment and that any form of tyranny represents a confined space that keeps getting smaller until there's no place left to hot box, the dull roar of "rabble, rabble, rabble" eventually becomes deffening.
