The same irony exists with the segment of the other side that values a strong Fourth Amendment but resent the degree to which people value the Second.

The most important rights are the ones you personally value, other ones are expendable. That makes sense at human level, but it doesn't lend itself well to compromise or negotiations that start with the premise that one side's values are objectively wrong or less important.
