So here's to the 2nd Amendment

I swear, the person who said, "you learn something new everyday" must have been a damn genius because today, I definitely learned something new. I learned something no one has ever brought to my doorstep in all my years, and I've lived a few years. What I learned today was so shocking to me that I felt the need to share it on my blog. The few of you that read my blog may already know about this thing I feel compelled to share, you may have known this all along but I didn't, so bear with me.

Today I found out that the 2nd Amendment had nothing to do with protecting ones liberty or from ones government infringing on their "God given" rights. No sir, it's none of that patriotic bullshit the NRA and it's supporters want you to believe. No ma'am, it has nothing to do with protecting ones family or forming a militia to protect Americans from some unseen enemy be they foreign or domestic. The reality behind the drafting of the 2nd Amendment was so white men could protect themselves from their slaves.

Yes, the 2nd Amendment was written to allow people to arm themselves against the very same people they were subjugating. Which means they knew what they were doing could possibly come back and hurt them, so they wrote something into law that would allow them to arm themselves from their "property".

The Cause for the 2nd Amendment!

Now with all the research I have done on the history of my people, with all the books I have read and documentaries I have seen, I never knew this. Right wing gun fanatics and 2nd Amendment supporters are either unaware of this fact or they have chosen to NOT speak on it. I'm going with the latter though those rifle toting idiots with the gun racks in their trucks probably don't really have a clue. Much like I didn't, but unlike those jack rabbits I educated myself, I learned.

To all those gun supporters who cite the 2nd Amendment as their reason for owning a firearm or assault rifle, you are citing an amendment that was written to keep slaves or freed people of color in line. I think it's best you just admit that you like guns, you think they're pretty, and you like the loud noises they make. You may sound like a dumb child, but at least you won't sound like a racist.
