You get the likes of a dumb cunt called Roxane Dunbar-Ortiz and her equally retarded screed of bullshit and downright lies with zero historical context on the drafting of the 2nd Amendment.
“Basically, the Second Amendment is about killing Indians, taking their land, and increasingly, slave patrols,” Dunbar-Ortiz tells Truthdig Editor in Chief Robert Scheer in the latest installment of “Scheer Intelligence.” The “Loaded” author lays out the genocidal genealogy of the right to bear arms, and explains that, at its root, it ensured the ability of white men to oppress people of color in order to steal or keep stolen land, and to control slaves through slave patrols. To top it off, our current police forces, Dunbar-Ortiz goes on to argue, are essentially just modern-day slave patrols.
Why this type of peddled bullshit keeps rearing it's unfounded, noneducational head can only be for the sole purpose to make themselves look like they are real historians and to make the 2nd Amendment a black sheep of the Bill of Rights.
I mean for fucks sakes, pick up a copy of the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers of the drafting of the Bill of Rights along with additional sources on the history of the 2nd Amendment, one of which is really good is one by David E. Vandercoy.
