As I pointed out in my book "The Hidden History of Guns and the Second Amendment," the reason the Second Amendment was written and passed was to protect the slave patrols of Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia.
In most cases, the slave patrols were volunteer vigilante groups, drawing from the population of local farmers and other white people whose economic survival depended on the larger plantations.
In other words, they were civilian vigilantes, whose main job was to suppress any possibility of Black uprisings.
That same Second Amendment did his work yesterday in Kenosha, Wisconsin when a white vigilante shot and killed two people just after police had given him a bottle of water and thanked him for showing up.

wow the protestors are just sinless martyrs aren’t they
i wonder if they’d just sit back and watch their neighborhood, their house, just go up in flames without fighting back
i have a hunch they wouldn’t
Author’ s name is Thom Hartmann, not Thin . My spellcheck screwed it up
Mr. Hartmann suffers from massive stupidity. And racism. And confabulism.
Maybe you got it right after all since he is THIN on historical accuracy
Wow! That’s some serious screwballs there.
Antihistorical BS. The right to bear arms goes way way back in English history. It was one of the treasured “rights of Englishmen” the colonists took with them to the New World.
There were no slaves in England.
No Blacks were harmed in the recreation of the Slave Patrol.
Other than that, what a great failed attempt at slander.
What would the Left have if not for lies?
This was pathetic.
BS. The Second Amendment had its roots in Enlightenment philosophy. At that time (like 18th century France), the common people were not allowed to bear arms - only the nobles and their flunkies were.
This guy is an idiot! God forbid anyone actual read his nonsensical book. The useful idiot is ignoring Sir William Blackstone belief that self-defense was a natural right. The fool is ignoring the Federalist Papers and the original arguments for the right to keep and bear arms. It had absolutely nothing to do with slaves and plantations and everything to do with the mistrust our founding fathers had for a Federal Government.
“...Wisconsin when a white vigilante shot and killed two people...”
Beto’s hero !
” Hell yes, we’re coming after your guns “.
Are you f-in kidding me?!
The guy is an outright liar and gaslighter.
The AR discharged into Skateboard dude's torso and scrambled his innards up enough to end his threat to humanity.
Paramedic dude brandished a weapon and came charging into Kyle who was vulnerable on the ground just having been struck in the head by the now deceased Skateboard dude, sees Paramedic dude with gun and tries to shoot the weapon out of his hand and only manages to blow his bicepts tendon and muscle into a fine red mist.
Paramedic dude is neutralized.
Stricking people in the head is attempted murder.
Kyle is innocent.
BTW, PA's constitution was later amended with the following, "except in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh." (Just kidding).
Here’s his book on amazon - have at it

He’s right. We should be going after the MSM TV studios and printing presses where the real enemy is. And the real enemy is mostly White.
This guy is full of shit and always has been. Up is down, right is left, and let me make up the next fact right now.
If you believe him you will also believe that rioting and killing is peaceful protest.

............................
England did indeed have slavery during the colonial era in America:
The Slavery Abolition Act 1833 (3 & 4 Will. IV c. 73) abolished slavery in parts of the British Empire. This Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom expanded the jurisdiction of the Slave Trade Act 1807 and made the purchase or ownership of slaves illegal within the British Empire, with the exception of “the Territories in the Possession of the East India Company”, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), and Saint Helena.
