Let's have some fun and apply the restrictive logic being proposed for the 2nd Amendment to the other amendments in the Bill of Rights and see how warm and fuzzy it feels...
1st Inning.
First Amendment...
To prevent enraging someone of a different religion to the point they want to commit physical harm to someone in response, you will only be able to gather to worship your religion in groups more than two persons 7 times annually. To prevent enraging someone that disagrees with your point of view to the point they want to commit physical harm to someone in response, you (to include all media outlets--online, tv, print) will only be able to exercise your freedom of speech 7 times annually (example--you can only post to Facebook 7 times a year, a tv network can only run a news program 7 times a year, and a news outlet can only print/post online 7 times a year). To prevent enraging someone that disagrees with your peaceful protest to the point they want to commit physical harm to someone in response, you will only be allowed to peaceably assemble 7 times in your lifetime. In addition, you will only be allowed to petition the Government for a redress of grievances 7 times in your lifetime, doing so in additional petitions could make the Government look bad and cause someone to not trust the Government and therefore want to cause physical harm to the Government or its employees.
2nd Inning.
Third Amendment...
To ensure compliance of restrictions on the Bill of Rights, for a period of 7 months annually, you will be required to quarter soldiers (foreign or domestic) during both peace and war times. This will include providing them their own room and furniture, as well as, 3 meals a day. These Government soldiers will use their time stationed in your home to monitor your activities to ensure compliance with all other Bill of Rights restrictions.
3rd Inning.
Fourth Amendment...
To ensure all people are compliant with restrictions on the Bill of Rights, the Government will be allowed to search and seize, if necessary, any and all persons, houses, papers, and effects 7 times annually during the 5 month period that soldiers are not quartered in homes. Warrants shall be issued without probable cause for the first 7 instances they are needed against each individual of the nation.
4th Inning.
Fifth Amendment...
To prevent people from continuing to commit crimes or the possibility of committing a future crime: Every person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, without a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury in the first 7 instances this is required; Every person shall be subject to double jeopardy for the first 7 instances they are charged with the same offense; Every person shall be compelled in any criminal case to be witness against their self in the first 7 instances; Every person shall be deprived of due process of law for the first 7 instances of being charged with a crime; Private property will be taken from individuals for public use without just compensation in the first 7 instances this is required by the Government.
5th Inning.
Sixth Amendment...
To prevent someone from rigging the criminal justice system in their favor when charged with a crime and act as a deterrent towards future crimes by removing them from society for undisclosed amounts of time and to prevent media sources from swaying any decisions, a person shall not enjoy the right to speedy and public trial for the first 7 instances they find them self accused of a crime.
6th Inning.
Seventh Amendment...
To prevent someone from being acquitted that was guilty and to prevent the media from swaying any potential jurors for the defense, the right to trial by a jury shall only occur AFTER 7 instances where a person is involved in a civil case.
7th Inning.
Eighth Amendment...
To ensure that people who commit crimes towards others are kept off the streets, excessive bail will be required, as well as, excessive fines imposed, and cruel and unusual punishments inflicted for the first 7 instances a person finds them self in the custody of the Government.
8th Inning.
Ninth Amendment...
To prevent enraging someone who does not agree with you, about various rights that are not listed in the previous amendments, from committing acts of violence the following rights are now banned: the right to abortion, right to euthanasia, right to gay marriage, right to privacy, right to equal employment opportunity, right to workplace safety, and right to unionize.
9th Inning.
Tenth Amendment...
To prevent States from passing laws and/or amendments that allow their citizens rights that someone else does not believe they should have and could therefore enrage someone to the point of committing acts of violence, the States will not be allowed to legislate on any matters pertaining to the previous amendments and all laws and/or amendments already in existence and are pertaining to the previous amendments are now null and void.
Extra Inning.
10th Inning.
