Posted by CowboyNeal from the big-ticket-items dept.
Oolala submitted an article that opens: "Business software maker Oracle Corp. will buy Hyperion Solutions Corp. for $3.3 billion in cash, renewing a shopping spree aimed at toppling rival SAP AG. The deal announced Thursday will give Oracle an arsenal of Hyperion products that are widely used by SAP's customers. Hyperion's tools, known as "business intelligence" software, help chief financial officers and other top corporate executives track their company's performance."

That establishes my point then. The only reason for establishing a right to bear arms is the preservation of the other rights that you refer to. The 2nd amendment is a means to an end, not an end in itself. In a theoretical utopia, free of the threat of tyranny, one could do without the right to bear arms, but not the other rights that are supposed to be protected by it.
