The first and second Amendments are really the counter weights to Democracy. Those who ignore the second will ultimately loose the first, and a society that limits the first proves itself unworthy of the second. My biggest fear, with regard to the tragedies of late, is that in an attempt to save “just one child” we will surrender their future freedoms for security theater. That liberty will be forfeit at the alter of good intentions, doing nothing more than to make a world that is little less worthy of their sacrifice.
