Also, the second amendment means nothing if the government is allowed selective application, modification, interpretation, control or to be decreed a privilege instead of a right

also, without the second, no other amendment is safe... that is why it is number two...

The order is immaterial. The text is all that matters (or should matter, anyway).

I wholeheartedly agree that no other amendment is safe without the 2nd. Hell, even with the 2nd they've pass "campaign finance reform" (a.k.a. political censorship, bye-bye 1st), we have no knock warrants (buh, bye 4th) and we have seizure laws galore (buh-bye 5th). Can you imagine what would happen if 80 million people weren't armed with 250-300 million guns?
