What is amazing is that Americans today blindly (indifference or ignorance) or both are patriotic of founding fathers who were in fact slave owners and the 2nd amendment was for them the key to building a slave republic. From 1786 to the Civil War, America was a slave economy that made it necessary to own guns to overcome human resistance to being enslaved, and protect property of the slave holders. From external threats and from living property itself that shall never be armed. A black man could never be armed in America was the purpose of the 2nd Amendment. The age of our ‘forefathers’ was an age of revolution in Europe, 1789, in France, the enlightenment, but two years later in Haiti a major victorious slave revolt kicks off a more repressive reaction by slaveholders in the US. If the government enforced its own decree,---the Emancipation Proclamation of 1865, the right to bear arms would extend to black people, equal to whites, black militias would be legal and the mass incarceration system of blacks exclusively would have no legal basis to exist.

@machsimillian14 You are pointing the finger at Harvard, guilty of that educational system. Ivy League Institutions created the content of education. They cannot be expected to amend a fake history with the real history of America. Astounding.

@misterlyle. Relative to the creation of a slave republic of the 18th century in America, the practice of democracy among non-slaves was not any different the Greeks in Ancient Society, slave owners practiced democracy; slaves had no democracy. The gun was necessary to overcome the natural resistance of a man or women in becoming a slave and enforcing slave status, back then the Gladiator was the gun---you have to beat the shit out of kidnapped black people with a force greater than their own if you are to break their will and accept subjugation into slavery appears to be the purpose of the 2nd Amendment to the Forefathers.

@drmodestoesq If the real history of the US is propagandized and delivers a fake history to Americans we can never expect they will have a grasp of the pre-history of America’s ‘original inhabitants’. The pre-colonial period of American history is a lie and the European history of America is a lie.

@benyahudadavidl That’s far out.

@machsimillian14 How little of Academia you truly do not understand. Harvard has never taught accurate history. Want proof read about Agassiz of Harvard. Nothing worse than intelligent ignorance. Every academic institution in the US conceals the genocide and slavery of the US. Indoctrination begins with your mother and her choices on how to teach you about life and society.
