Your 1st example tells me that you might not be the "constitutionalist" you think you are.

Is there something wrong with defending the second amendment while calling for nationalized health care?
There is nothing in the Constitution that supports the assumption of health care by the federal government. The only part of the Constitution that applies is the 10th Amendment: (to paraphrase) that not enumerated resides with the States and the people.

Liking guns and supporting the 2nd Amendment doesn't make you a constitutionalist rather, it makes you a shooter. The Constitution isn't a buffet line where you take a bit of this and some of that. It is a contract between the federal government, the States and the People. All paragraphs and ammendments are equally important.
