The first two Amendments of the U. S. Constitution protect fredom of speech, worship, assembly, and the keeping and bearing of arms. All of these rights are sacred to me, and should be so for all Americans.

I'm normally a fan of the Rude One, but I find it regrettable that he is busy trying to erode the Second Amendment, when he should be focusing on restoring the First. The fact that freedom of speech has been trampled in the US is no excuse to go trampling more rights.
