The Whole Constitution or Only A Part Of It?

A number of gun toting protesters at presidential events have made the public eye, along with the rancher from Montana who announced that he was a proud member of the NRA and believed in the Constitution (he was not carrying a firearm and asked some very good questions). My question is, does he, do they, believe in the whole Constitution or only the NRA version of the second amendment? It’s an important question. After all, the Constitution contains seven articles and twenty-six amendments (keeping in mind that one enacted prohibition and another repealed it) interpreted by over 200 years of Supreme Court decisions. Some protesters have yelled out their fears that the current administration might be stripping away their constitutional rights. I don’t recall them yelling that out when the previous administration actually did strip away rights. Perhaps I just wasn’t paying attention.
