Even during the Revolutionary War, freed slaves fought in the Militia. Being freed was also an incentive given to slaves to get them to fight in the Militia as well.

The "only white land owners had Rights" crap is just another leftist canard that ignores pesky little things like FACTS.

Who said that? I said only that their rights were protected. It doesn't mean that others weren't allowed to have guns.

"Even during the Revolutionary War, freed slaves fought in the Militia."

Doesn't mean their right to keep and bears arms was protected.
