Freedom of Expression and Self Defense

As a freethinker, I set for myself these two rights: freedom of expression (freedom of religion, of speech, of the press, of peaceful assembly, and of petition); and the right of self defense (the keeping and bearing of arms). If I look carefully at these two, I see that the second supports the first. Only if I can defend myself, can I defend my freedom to speak or practice religion or do anything else. Without self defense there is no freedom. With this in mind, I prepare for Boston.
