ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin said Friday on ABC’s “The View” she believed that the Second Amendment “was designed to protect slavery” by empowering local militia groups to “put down slave revolts.”
Hostin said, “If you look at the history of the NRA for decades, the NRA has pushed legislation that not only supported a lot of gun ownership and the proliferation of guns but stifled the study and spread of information right, about the causes of gun violence. And when we talk about the culture of guns in this country, I’m reading an incredible book called ‘The Second’ by professor Carol Anderson. And she describes that the constitutional — the Second Amendment really was the right to bear arms was designed to protect slavery, right, because they wanted — our Founding Fathers and others, they wanted to be able to empower a local militia group to basically put down slave revolts and protect plantation owners.”
She added, “Because of the origins of the Second Amendment many and because of the NRA, I think we’re seeing this proliferation of guns and gun ownership. But I will say that gun ownership is on the rise, of course, in this country, but the biggest gun ownership on the rise is among African-Americans. It’s up 58.2 percent. In large part, when they are questioned, they’re talking about white supremacy, they’re talking about the pandemic, and they’re talking about police violence. They want to be able to protect themselves. So this is not about a rise in crime in the streets. This is about people feeling unsafe, black Americans.”

Only slaves could not own guns.
The NRA was there to protect former slaves with guns.
They got us now.
The 2nd was designed to, among other things, allow push back on tyranny and tax slavery.
MOLON LABE MOTHER******s!
Here’s some even newer theories.
The first amendment was designed to allow slave owners to publish their side of what a great country the USA was becoming without government interference.
The 3th amendment was designed to protect slave owner’s mansions from being occupied by negros.
the 4th amendment was written to protect slave owners from having to testify about their overseers whipping slaves to death.
And so on and so on and so on...
I want to know what this wuckfipe is smoking. What color ate the clouds in his reality? Im not a fan of the NRA but I know a good bit of their history and this guy pulled this idea out of his rump.
With all the history starting them in their face, the only reason these fools say what they do, is because they are NOT talking with their face.
Yeah...no connection there.
These evil people say anything without any even a remote attempt at being accurate or truthful if they believe it might help their cause even slightly.
Yep. Search for the racist roots of gun control. The very first gun control laws in the US were to prohibit slaves from possessing firearms.
This legal advisor is a SFC.
Well that doesn’t explain the 200+ years of slavery prior to the 2nd amendment.
In fact, slavery only existed in the United States for about 85 years. Before that we were British Colonies.
I’m so tired of these idiots
Come on man - hasn’t everyone figured out that these idiots say this crap to see how much attention they can get?
The View - liars like Sunny Hosebag should be ridiculed.
If she feels she’s not lying, then she’s probably well overpaid considering her stupidity.
I expect to see them in Critical Race Theory texts, any day now.
Your thoughts will not be taken as satire, but as revealed truth!
Only an extremely wealthy, successful, powerful society could nurture Critical Race Theory.
We are about the only ones who can afford it... at least until it destroys us or we repudiate it.
I think Hank Johnson’s case.... He really believes it.
So, according to this idiot:
1. The Second Amendment is to protect slavery.
2. Blacks owning guns now is to protect them against White Supremacy.
Watch for this to be taught as a mandated part of the K-12 curriculum.
If ignorance is bliss this woman must be in paradise!
“With all the history starting them in their face, the only reason these fools say what they do, is because they are NOT talking with their face.”
Don’t be concerned. History is being changed to correct these inconsistencies.
There are always nitwits who insist that the sun rises in the west, the earth is flat, water isn’t wet etc. you can ignore them, but you can’t convince them that they’re wrong because their psychosis doesn’t allow for an external reality. They are mentally ill and are incapable of logical thought.
