Oct 22 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court will soon have its first opportunity in more than a decade to redefine the scope of gun rights and to confront the link between the Second Amendment and slavery that it has previously overlooked.
The justices next month will hear a challenge backed by the National Rifle Association to New York state’s restrictions on concealed handguns in public. The NRA and two gun owners are claiming the restrictions violate the Second Amendment, arguing that Americans have an unfettered right to carry guns in public for self-defense.

Indeed, the historical record shows that the Second Amendment is rooted in racism and was written to preserve Southern state militias whose job it was to crush slave rebellions and capture runaways.

The thesis of racism at the root of the Second Amendment has been developed, most notably, by Carol Anderson, a bestselling author and historian at Emory University.

Me, because it has 0%, zip, zero, nada to do with the cases. I guess I'm slipping.
Redefine ‘shall not be infringed’?
I knew this was coming when I saw one day Wikipedia added "Slave Patrols" to their Second Amendment Article.
Total Lies.
"A well regulated militia being necessary for the oppression of people of color, the right of White people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"
some people just need _ _ _ _ _ _ _.
Actually I would not be surprised that Google would redefine the 2nd Amendment that wat as most all our other cherished rights are under attack.
This is utter BS and misinformation by Reuters.
This is a real article, from Reuters, and not like Slate or Huffington Post? What the hell is this nonsense?
Only Al Reuters and Hollywood would believe this has any chance of success.
When everything is racist is racism even real?
“I agree. I don’t know where Reuters got the idea that this bogus slavery claim would factor in the decision.”
I would guess John Roberts is what they are counting on.
If memory serves me correctly, the NRA was formed in part to ensure that newly freed slaves had access to firearms after the Civil War.
The Democrat party was steeeeeeeeped in racism. Shouldn’t they be cancelled?
Same stuff, different day plus different corrupt MSM source.
NYSlime already knew how this would be received if they published it so they just handed off to Reuters.
Utter garbage right in the headline. The SCOTUS will in no way 'confront 2nd Amendment's roots in racism.
Hassan Kanu
.....and I need to be lectured abouyt America by... WHO???

Where the eff does any of the lawsuits even MENTION racism? "Hassan" is just pulling shit right out of his ass.
Indeed, the historical record shows that the Second Amendment is rooted in racism and was written to preserve Southern state militias whose job it was to crush slave rebellions and capture runaways.
Pure, unadulterated bullshit. The Second Amendment was written for ALL colonies and states, to be able to oppose British re-colonization.
In point of fact, the only tie to racism whatsoever is that the National Rifle Association was established, in part, to help former slaves and other blacks attain and retain firearms rights.
The thesis of racism at the root of the Second Amendment has been developed, most notably, by Carol Anderson, a bestselling author and historian at Emory University.
John Lott is also a bestselling author and historian, and he says Carol is an idiot.
Taken folks long enough to get to the point that many gun laws are rooted in racism to prevent blacks from having guns. And today, the laws still most adversely affect black Americans.
Wow, they are desperate to get rid of that, aren’t they?
Nothing in the wording of the Second Amendment alludes to their conspiracy theory.
