Out of the first two amendments on the US Bill of Rights, which do you think is more important?
The first amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The second amendment:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

if your government has gone to the tyrannical approach to remove the first amendment; They have no problem removing any rights from any citizen. So yea thats why the 2nd amendment is kinda there; to protect the security and rights of the people [spoiler]btw a militia is [b][i][u]NOT[/u][/i][/b] the US Armed Services but one of volunteer citizens who answer only to the citizens they represent [/spoiler]
