What happens when the 1st amendment gets into a rumble with the 2nd?

... and how does "A well regulated Militia" factor into it? (the first phrase in the second amendment)..... was Mr. Loughner a part of said militia?

    I guess I don't really understand why in the realm of a whole bunch of people being " strict constitutionalists", why the whole "well regulated milita" thing is ignored..... not that I'm against it, mind you.... maybe we could benifit from say, neighborhood drills, in the community park.... or straight-out conscription in state national guard units.... or even community service in leiu of military-type service....

... but what is offered... honestly.. intellectually.... in reflection of that clause in our constitution?...
