It depends what the second amendment says. It might supersede the first amendment if they both, say, changed successor trustees, or it might address something different than the 1st amendment addressed, so that they would both stay in effect.

It all depends on what the Second Amendment says and if it wholly or partially revokes the First Amendment.
