No. It isn’t. No one right is the cornerstone for any other.What’s both telling and amusing is that many – perhaps most – on the right have come to loath Heller and feel betrayed by Scalia, particularly the ignorant extremists who incorrectly believe the Second Amendment right is ‘absolute.’and every judge before Antonin said they meant the opposite of what Antonin made up.
not even the 1st amendment, which the founders saw as probably the cornerstone of democracy, is "absolutely".
this is the problem with rightiwngnuts.
Sorry, Princess, the 2nd Amendment is the cornerstone upon which all other inalienable rights depend.
yeah, but the 2nd is the one that makes little nothing people feel powerful.
The right to bear arms is what puts an 89 pound old woman on an equal footing with a 230 pound 25 year old young man trying to rob or rape her. Maybe some day you'll be attacked, robbed, raped and murdered to find out how much you really wish you would've bought a firearm.
