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.

The KKK was formed to prevent newly freed slaves from voting for Republicans. Gun control laws were then enacted in the Democrat controlled Southern states to keep freed slaves from defending themselves.
????
What does the KKK have to do with the NRA? Are you suggesting the NRA is associated/aligned with the KKK?
Big fingers small key board
Maybe it brought a smile to someone
Next, the ultimate remedy for unconstitutionally big, Democratic-pirated federal and state governments oppressing everybody under their boots...
Consider that all the states can effectively “secede” from the unconstitutionally big federal government by doing the following.
Patriots need to primary federal and state elected officials who don't send voters email ASAP that clearly promises to do the following.
Federal and state candidate lawmakers need to promise in their emails to introduce resolutions no later than 100 days after start of new legislative sessions that proposes an amendment to the Constitution to the states that is limited to repealing the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments.
Insights welcome.
They are not going to fool Clarence Thomas with this nonsense.
Not at all. Just the opposite in fact.
The KKK was formed by Democrats in the South to regain power by threatening freed slaves who voted against them. The KKK was essentially the military enforcement wing of the Democrat party (serving much the same role that Antifa serves today). Gun control laws were adopted by Democrats in the South to keep freed slaves from fighting back.
The NRA was formed to protect the rights of freed slaves and everyone else to keep and bear arms to defend against those who would try and take them away.

Crap slingers
So,,,, our God given rights are racist ,

This ilk gets ilkier every day.
OK. Got it. My misunderstanding. Thanks for clarifying that.
Oh that figgers.
If I were Ms. Anderson, I'd sue Emory University to get my money back.

Does anyone know what day oral arguments are scheduled for this?
Totally my fault. I should have been clearer in my initial post. I tapped it out on my cell phone while I was waiting in a line.
“... the Second Amendment is rooted in racism...”
Isn’t there an entire series of “Federalist Papers” that flesh out the reasoning behind the text of the Constitution?
Thanks! I’ll be sure to set that one up in my calendar to remind me to download the orals once they are posted.
The way the 'right to carry' question was worded, it seems like there's little room for misconstruing the meaning, but we know how liberals think.
Regardless, this is a huge case.
Of course it is (in their ‘minds’). Anything good, anything they have no hope of arguing on the actual merits, they automatically whip out for the ‘r’ word.
“2nd Amendment’s roots in racism”
Good grief. What’s next with these clowns, the 1st amendment’s roots in sexism?
Obviously, more critical race theory bull$hit. Everything liberals don’t like is racist or Trump’s fault or both.
