If these bastards get away with severely restricting the 1st & 2nd Amendments you can put a fork in us, were done as a free nation.

We already are "no longer a free nation."

Consider this:
In 2005, the Supreme Court ruled in the Kelo v. New London case that the city's use of eminent domain was indeed both justified and valid. They did this despite the 5th Amendment's statement that eminent domain be "for public use" and the City had used eminent domain to seize the property to be turned over to a private developer. The 'public use' justification they made was that the "public use" clause was satisfied by projected increases in tax revenue. Note also that there was, to my knowledge, no outstanding property-tax debt on the property.

Consider that and then you should realize that no private property, under this USSC ruling, is safe from government seizure so long as it can give any excuse about "public use" no matter how flimsy. {Something like taking everyone's cars and guns so the iron can be used in rails would be a more valid "public use" than what they did in Kelo!}

“....were done as a free nation.”

Not gonna’ happen.

If the 1rst & 2nd are somehow abolished or severly restricted you will see an uprising of angry citizens never before witnessed in history.
