Founding Fathersâ€™ Words Reveal 2nd Amendment Wasâ€¦ To Preserve Slavery?
Posted by Nathaniel Downes

Second_Amendment

Weâ€™ve all heard the arguments from the gun manufacturers lobby: â€œThe 2nd
Amendment was about freedom!â€ â€œThe 2nd Amendment was to ensure that men
could stand against their governmentâ€ 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.

Two people, one who agrees with Hartman and one who doesn't.

He makes it sound like Virginia was the only state with a militia and
the only people who wanted the right to own a gun were slave holders.

If I was really interested in pursuing this I would see what the
debate really was about the second amendment in 1789.

It is the kind of thing that may not be that well documented and you
will read a lot more opinion than fact. Most of it will be written in
the latter part of the 20th century.

Hey, let's not go down the road of the bible!
