Founding Fathers’ Words Reveal 2nd Amendment Was… To Preserve Slavery?

We’ve all heard the arguments from the gun manufacturers lobby: “The 2nd
Amendment was about freedom!” “The 2nd Amendment was to ensure that men
could stand against their government” or other similarly absurd
thoughts. But, what did the Founding Fathers think of the 2nd Amendment?
It turns out, thanks to research done by Thom Hartmann, the 2nd
Amendment was about slavery.


That is an interesting spin, I am not sure it is accurate but it is
interesting.



It sure would make an interesting thesis topic for someone seeking a
master's in U.S. history.
