With just 27 words in 1791, America's Second Amendment paved a blood-drenched trail for legal access to modern-day weapons used in videogame-like fashion to gun-down fellow citizens, military style.
Now, after all the mass carnage of 222 years of "Freedom to Bear Arms" – with a murder-count so high that only God can accurately tally – there's a sudden political epiphany for urgent "gun control" to ostensibly curb the curse of innocent slayings.
Given however an estimated 300 million legal guns, compounded by ever-rising volumes of illegal guns that already saturate society uncontrollably, the notion of "gun control" equates somewhat to "closing the barn door after the horse is gone."
All of the adverse consequences and uncivilized behavior associated with this so-called "freedom," begs the question – What was the original function and intent of arming citizens that made the constitutional framers appear so wise in the first place?
Conventional logic suggests that early-Americans obviously needed guns to hunt and protect themselves in the wilds. Also, as a newly formed republic, arms were presumed necessary to defend the preciousness of America's democracy from possible tyranny. Although such reasoning seems practical and plausible, there is an unpopular but overriding truth about "bearing arms" that's deeply affixed to defending another of America's preciousness – institutionalized slavery.
Bluntly put, the Second Amendment traces to a historical period when bullets and bibles were necessary to forcibly control and psychologically manipulate huge swaths of enslaved populations that eventually exceeded four million, which the same constitution openly repudiates the humanity thereof as further proof.
Contrary to "defending freedom," the looming threats of uprisings due to "denying freedom" to Africans and Native Americans, posed America's greatest domestic security concern at that time....

Someone needs to talk to all the black folks in Chicago who would like to PROTECT themselves with GUNS from the gangs of thugs killing in the streets.....
LOL! Really? Where do these clowns come up with this crap? Roots? It was the radical left wing demokkkrat scumbags that had people locked up in chains back then. Guess what. They still do. But now it’s velvet chains instead. But chains never the less.

Dregs as professors. No wonder the young skulls full of mush leave college with little to no knowledge. Actually I’ve known quite a few PhD’s over the years. Some brilliant and others that couldn’t put a sentence together. But you can find that in a lot of places. Managers that are clueless and useless that you just have to work around and only feed the info that they absolutely had to know. Nothing else. (Made me believe I would have no problem getting a PhD if I wanted it.

Excellent. Thanks for the link.
“Ostrich with his head in the stand still gets his head cut off.”
Well stated.
The real truth is different. Historians normally date the start of slavery in the North American colonies to 1619. That year the crew of the Dutch ship was starving, and as John Rolfe noted in a letter to the Virginia Company’s treasurer Edwin Sandys, the Dutch traded 20 African slaves for food and supplies. Slaves of African descent and white indentured servants often worked, socialized and even ran away from their masters together. But by the end of the 17th century, the colony became more reliant on slave labor as the number of British and Europeans willing to indenture themselves declined and as the leaders of the colony feared uprisings among the poor, landless whites.
The first slave owner in America was Johnson, a Black man. Slavery was a world wide institution which we inherited from the immigrants.....but, I am being a little bit of a “revisionist” for the American Indians had slaves before we ever got there. America was already a slave nation before white man ever set foot on the place. Or, wait a minute, wasn’t the first people in America Caucasians—Kennewick man????
This whole demonization of groups of people is Marxist. To divide so they can destroy us. We are all Americans-—we need to unite-—not divide-—we all have done evil things in the past, but when “ideas” are the basis of Truth (God)—like in America—the Truth should win out-—but Leftists/Atheists/pagans are far more inhumane than any other groups, and are taking over the USSA and forcing this Marxist stuff into the schools to destroy cohesion and Love (Christianity).
Marxism is all Lies! Everything Marxists write is warped and twisted lies to make people hate each other. The are like cockroaches to Light-—when they are forced with the Truth.
It is why Marxists created Political Correctness——to shut down debate because debate is how you get to Truth.
I could not have said it any better my Oregon brother.
Kennewick Man’s skull size and shape that he was not directly related to modern-day Native Americans. He was most similar to the Moriori, a Polynesian people in the Chatham Islands, near New Zealand. He is also like the Moriori’s ancestors, the Ainu, who lived in coastal areas of mainland Asia 15,000 years ago. Keep your powder dry.
As i recall the Redcoats came here to enforce their sugar tax, tea tax, stamp tax, etc.
They also did what they could to stifle free speech written or spoken.
They conspired to confiscate arms and gunpowder without due process or a warrant.
They quartered Redcoat soldiers with no recompense.
They taxed without representation.
They set bail at unreasonable ceilings that amounted to excessive punishment and they tortured citizens.
That is what the fight was about and the 2nd Amendment deckares the inalienable right to keep and bear for the specific purpose of protecting the The Constitution and the Bill if Rights.
The Red coats never made demand to end slavery but, for the sake of your idiotic argument if it were about slavery and slaves eventually freed themselves by obtaining arms, wouldn’t that be a good thing?
Or did 600,000 whites and blacks using all the horrors of war to end slavery, including the use of guns, die in vain for specious attempt at intellectual vanity that is as vacuous as it inane?
You’re to stupid to know because if you did know how contrived and synthetic your gravely moronic supposition is, then you’d be smart
BO can latch onto this but throwing it back in his face is just as easy..
....there is an unpopular but overriding truth about “gun-control legislation” that’s deeply affixed to controlling the America people – facism.
“It is why Marxists created Political Correctness——to shut down debate because debate is how you get to Truth.”
I have heard this referred to as “cultural Marxism”. Marxism itself is a big lie from the pit of hell. Marxism tries to replace God with government, so it will always be opposing Truth with a capital “T”.
“....we have all done evil things in the past....”
I believe if we traced our lineage back far enough all of us would
find both slaves and slave masters among our ancestors.
To understand the Second Amendment one needs to look no
further then The Federalist 46 by James Madison.
If you cannot weave racism or sexism into absolutely every
aspect of society then what would there be left to teach in
all the ethnic and women’s studies departments throughout
the nation’s university system?
Wow, this was a wonderfully unbiased piece of non-revisionist history that hardly made me want to wretch.
THAT was great....I’m trying to tweet it...putting it thru bit.ly is proving to be a problem
