The 2nd Amendment: The right protecting all the others

Sandra Froman writes on WorldNetDaily.com that the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is "The right protecting all the others".

"[T]he Second Amendment protects all of your rights. Whether freedom of religion, free speech, free press, free association, the right to protest the government, or our other rights, the Second Amendment allows you to protect those freedoms for yourselves and your loved ones."

Ultimately, the Constitution is but a piece of paper. (Parchment, if you want to get technical about it!) Nothing about that piece of paper magically brings its provisions to life. It's the will of the People, expressed though their government, that gives the Constitution life and power. But the will of the People can be overwhelmed by tyrants if they lack the ability to put steel behind their words. Guns in the hands of all the People do just that. They give us the ability to force our will upon an unwilling tyrant. (Which is precisely why we've never had a tyrant rise up among us!)
