Do Americans actually believe that "the Second Amendment protects the others"? Like, is this something that is actually a widely held belief? How?

Because guns win wars. You’ve seen how effective America is when battling guerilla fighters in the middle east with less than 90 IQ.
Daniel Martin
Yes.
Benjamin Edwards
Without the 2nd amendment all you have left is a piece of paper with nothing to defend it.
Justin Peterson
Because it's true

user it actually does protect our other rights. Americans really are that psycho and you really are that big of a pussy.
Nathan Gutierrez
In theory that's the idea, but nobody is actually going to use guns to fight censorship.
Easton Martin
In theory. For all the bluster over muh guns, the 2nd sure as shit has been abdicating its responsibility the past decade or so.

Read the Declaration of Independence. The First and Second are right next to each other:
>In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury.
In other words, when the people complained about some government practice, they were met with violence. Look at the end of the First Amendment:
>...the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Now look at the Second:
>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.
What is the nature of the "regulation?" That the state is free and secure. In other words, the cops don't bash the heads of protesters complaining about some government policy. The First Amendment guarantees the people are allowed to protest, petition, etc.. What happens when the "militia" is no longer acting in regulation, violating the people's rights to free speech, assembly, and so forth? The people, bearing arms, bring the militia back into regulation. The "militia" and the "people" are two separate parties in the Second.
Most governments operate by having a monopoly on the use of organized violence. The Second Amendment breaks that monopoly.
Those kids at Kent State ought to have shot back. That's the Second Amendment. Pic related.

Without the second amendment and government fearing its citizenry, you get thrown in jail over a tweet or a piece of bacon. You get a kitchen cutlery license. In other words, you get Britain.
