The "want to be" gun confiscators would have a daunting job ahead of them

1. Where did I opine that the Bill of Rights is irrelevant?.

You didn't,"exactly" that is why I asked

2. I don't "vehemently" express myself. I am quite calm.

Yes you are very calm, poor choice of words on my part!

3. If the Bill of Rights doesn't prevent the government from violating said rights, doesn't that, by definition, make it impotent?

I will take that as a yes , "so you are saying" The Bill ,of Rights is irrelevant?????

4. How is expressing my thoughts and opinions "sabotaging" anyone's efforts on anything? I have no power to thwart anyone.

If your opinion and thoughts support one side,"2ndA is irrelevant" as oppose to the other side, "2ndA is relevant" then you are supporting the idea of the irrelevance of the 2ndA, Thus you are putting effort or working against the relevance of the 2ndA in this discussion. Thus sabotaging the relevance of the 2ndA. This of course depends on whether you believe your opinion or words have no meaning or effect with other peoples opinions or beliefs, "so you would then be correct" making this discussion completely irrelevant
