If the gun protects all other freedoms, then it endangers them all, as well

It is said that the Second Amendment protects all other freedoms. But, if the gun protects all other freedoms, then it endangers them all, as well. The gun can be used to take away freedom of speech, freedom of freedom of religion, and freedom of movement.

If we see in the gun our freedom, then we give our hope to the very device that usually is used to take it away.
