I’ll discuss the first two here.

The first freedom is the freedom to speak our opinions without fear of reprisals. This weblog is an example of that freedom. You can disagree with me, but neither you nor the government can make me stop rendering my opinions.

The second freedom is the one where we have the right to keep and bear arms (think DC vs. Heller and SCOTUS). I deserve to keep a gun at all times in order to defend myself and my family from the insanely high violent crime rate. Unfortunately, where I live I am not afforded that right outside my home, even though I am a model citizen who has been approved by the CIA, FBI and the Department of Defense to possess critical knowledge in the performance of my job.

I intend to use freedom one in order to achieve the rights accorded to me under freedom two. Not the other way around.
