You gun lovers are so silly!  You cannot fight the State with your little pop-guns.

On the other hand I must admit the Resistance is hanging on in Iraq against the invaders with little more than pop-guns.  Kudos to them and to your Quixotic bravery!

Although I believe that both should be protected, I personally find the first one to be more important for sustaining democracy. They may be equal constitutitonally, but I'm more concerned with the infringement of free speech than I am with firearms. I thus voted Option 1.

the choice is bogus.  it's like choosing between Kim Chee and heartburn.  One is the logical consequence of obtaining the other.  You can credit your formal (and perceived) rights of free speech to some 18th century yankee hillbilly with a firearm.  Well, a whole bunch of them, anyway.  "peasants with pitchforks" I believe is the Pat Buchanan-approved term.

Coincidence.
