People need to understand and take heed: As goes the Second Amendment, so goes all other Constitutional Rights.

Any restriction, limitation or outright nullification of the Second Amendment will serve as precedent, and pretense, for restricting, limiting and nullifying all other rights.

There is nothing in the Constitution that makes one right greater or lesser than the other. Thus, the same "argument" used to restrict one right can be employed for the restriction of all others.

People need to realize that precedent set involving any one right in the bill of Rights can and will be used by those in power with respect to all other rights.

People don't need guns, so let's restrict their ownership. Well, people don't "need" the internet either. I mean, you have phones (some of them free), can get your news from television, etc. And really, if people have nothing to hide, they should have no problem with a routine health and welfare search of their homes. For the public good of course.

We are witnessing the debate to open Pandora's box. And we are being conditioned to accept more and more government control of and intrusion into our lives. Twenty years ago, did anyone dream they would have to submit to a "strip search" before being allowed to fly on an airplane?
