After Republicans are done repealing the 14th Amendment, are they going to repeal the 1st Amendment too?

There are a lot of people who believe that changing the U.S. Constitution to remove rights is a bad idea. There are some who would love to see a flag burning amendment put in place. They cannot ban it by law due to the 1st Amendment so they want to put in an amendment to remove that particular right. There are some who want to add an amendment to remove the rights to own guns. Ping laws to remove that right does not work because of the 2nd Amendment. I would not be surprised to find people who would like to see an amendment making christianity the official religion of the U.S. I could probably find people wanting to make even more radical amendments. Repealing the 14th Amendment does not give that much gain and it is opening the doors to a lot worse stuff coming in. I am glad that amendments are not easy to come by. The people who believe they can just amend the U.S. Constitution and get around the Supreme Court have not really looked into what it will take to get an amendment done.
