In the past week I've seen people absolutely willing to throw out the 1st amendment by banning anyone that doesn't demand another AWB.

Some DU members in favor of forced confiscation, including door to door searches and seizure ... ironically, by other people with guns doing their dirty work.

The gun control folks are just not happy with most of the Bill of Rights, and are perfectly willing to throw the rest in the Crapper to get at the 2nd.
