So, this bill basically re-orders the Bill of Rights by importance, moving the 2A to the top? I like Cruz, but the BoR is already strong and this isn't needed. Giving priority to one versus others gives cause for detractors to use that argument against lower ranked amendments, possibly weakening them somewhat with an activist court.
When I disagree with the government, I will use the 1A with all it's force, while exercising my 2A right in the background. They go together, not in order.

You actually thought that this was a real story?

I being facetious, but you don't need the 1st amendment if you have the 2nd.
