Every constitutional right is jeopardized when you start redefining one of them. I could easily see a lawyer in some future courtroom using successful infringements upon the 2nd as a justification for infringements on the 1st or any other one.
You have to understand why the Bill of Rights was enacted and why there was resistance to the whole idea of quantifying them.
