If I was called upon to declare upon Oath, whether the Militia have been most serviceable or hurtful upon the whole; I should subscribe to the latter. – George Washington, September 1776
No it’s not.
Do these idiots really believe the drivel they write on race or is purely propaganda for them?
Marxism and Progressive ideals are the problems that need to be stopped in its tracks! The gun violence argument is a lie and just about everyone knows it-—Yet these tyrants keep pushing it the way Hitler, Mao, Goebbels, Stalin, Pol Pot and other did.
I’m really tired of the lying scumbag propagandists.
There’s no end to what someone can claim, when you can point to anything, or the general lack of anything, in the past.
The minute that British troops arrived in mass, and confiscated weapons in townships...we were pretty set to having a well-regulated militia.
No, but most of the murders in America are rooted in slavery.
This, not the previous.
You know what? Who gives a crap? You can stick slavery up your arse.
It is nothing but a weapon
Well.. that’s a new one!!
Gun ownership was to keep the bad dudes away from home turf.
Today the same.. but add freedoms to the mix.
I did a double-take this morning listening to the ABC Radio lead-off. The announcer intoned quite seriously: “The pandemic is ending, and once again Americans are shooting each other”.
Gun confiscation and gun rules are based on democrats racist past.
Somebody better point that out to the Black Panthers...
The Guardian’s viewpoint is rooted in being serfs and subjects to feeble-minded kings. They just can’t understand anything but a subservient mind, which is why we kicked their kind out, starting in 1776.
And George III, though mentally disturbed, was much more competent than Prince Charles. Long live the Queen!
This is a argument that’s become quite fashionable among firearms prohibitionists: alleging that the Second Amendment (along with other aspects of US constitutional heritage) is racist in origin.
Why is then that Jefferson (”No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms”) requested his slaves be freed upon his death and that he provided for them to learn trades as to find jobs upon their freedom? And that Washington also wished his slaves freed upon his death.
Also to ask Ms. Anderson, why is that it would take criminals in the United States and Canada many hundreds of centuries to equal the number murdered by four governments in Nazi Germany (Hitler), Soviet Russia (Stalin), China (Mao Zedong), and Cambodia (Pol Pot) in just one?
Well the black in Chicago seem to be well armed and are shooting other black in Chicago. Does that mean that blacks see each other as a dangerous threat?
"...the militia had been steadfast was in controlling the enslaved Black population..."
Interesting thesis. Doesn't hold water because lack of comparative parity between a regular army and militia and "we'll regulated militia" is does not mean militia are worthless, nor does a well regulated militia hold zero military value. I'll bet the argument does not obtain because it jumps to the conclusion: "Militia wasn't effective in military value, therefore militia were to suppress black population."
This is a poor argument based on a number of assumptions and reading into history.
Amazing that these people get paid to display their stupidity and they gladly accept it.
According to Critical Marxist Theory, the anti-2ndAmentment crowd are the Oppressors.
