The point of the right to bear arms is to have some defense against an oppressive government if needed.

Want to get Republicans to jump on gun control? Just have minorities show up exercising their right to bear arms.

Ask Reagan.

No, not really, even in the wild West towns would force you to surrender your firearms to the sheriff before you could go anywhere else in town.

Just because Reagan was a racist about it doesn’t mean the very concept itself is racist.

What mental gymnastics did you perform to come to the conclusion that gun control is rooted in racism

Edit: history

Yes it is.

Historians could only “uncover” this reason because it’s buried under the actual reasons. All the rationale behind the constitutional amendments was highly documented at the time, public, and easily accessed and referenced.

You mean including the highly documented rationale that historian uncovered?

By the way, do you really think you could defeat the U.S. military with your gun collection? Even if you and a bunch of buddies got together?

Buried under the actual reasons? That somehow contradict the uncovered reason? Sounds like bullshit to me.

All the rationale behind the constitutional amendments was highly documented at the time, public, and easily accessed and referenced.

Then how did bullshit theory that guns were to overthrow the government get buried for so long?
