I have two kids.  One is easily scared by yelling.  But it has no effect on the other.  She takes after me.  Your all caps means nothing to me.

Both the right to bear arms and the freedom of speech are subject to *some* regulation by law.  You can't have a select fire gun, you can't yell fire in a crowded theater, etc.  So you can be for a new, stricter regulation of these and still be in favor of the constitution, as long as you wanted it imposed by a legislature's vote and a governor's signature, and as long as you would abide by judicial review.

Both the right to bear arms and the freedom of speech are also subject to the Article V process,  that is, subject to elimination by future amendments to the constitution.   So you could even be for the abolition of both amendments, and still have claim to being for the constitution, as long as you only wanted to eliminate those rights by the Article V process, and as long as you upheld both rights up until the time that the Constitution was actually amended.

You could also claim to be in favor of Presidents being appointed for life, or of the right to select the next President devolving to whichever unarmed mob overtakes the Capitol building first, and still claim to be in favor of the Constitution,  as long as you wanted these changes made by an Article V process, and as long as you abided by the existing process for selecting the President, and the existing terms of service and term limits, until that time.  

However, if you claim to be in favor of the constitution,  you cannot be in favor of a mob trying to intimidate Congress into submission, not in 2021 before any such amendment existed.

The constitution is more important than money or buildings.  I wouldn't say it's more important than lives, but the hundreds of thousands of lives that have been spent defending it do imply otherwise.

Unless they are BLM attacking the capital or pro-choice Militia trying to intimidate Supreme Court Judges? Right? 

Look Man , the right to free speech and having arms to protect ourselves are the bedrock of this Republic, number one and two, for a reason. The Bill Of Rights. The government shall not infringe upon those rights, not unless they want a fight 

It’s no coincidence the government has been so good at putting everyone into all the tiny groups. Then they throw their support behind left wing groups by not convicting their crimes and all the other stupid crap they let the left get away with. 

It’s obvious our current government is up to bad things. They almost got what they want; a country so divided and weak and unable to travel because energy prices are so high, that any local resistance would easily be crushed, armed or not. 

You should celebrate, the end of this Republic may be closer than we think. All they need now is a war…
