ABC’s Hostin: Second Amendment ‘Was Designed to Protect Slavery
Breitbart ^ | 07/23/21 | Pam

Posted on 07/24/2021 6:30:53 AM PDT by Enlightened1

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.”

And there’s never any pushback nor do they ever have to defend their positions.

They say what they want. In this case, to a bunch of rich suburban housewives and that’s it.

No different than how they spout off about the Klan, Jim Crow, etc. never having to acknowledge that all those things were Democrats.

Knowing that the DOJ is corrupt to the core and not as good as so many think, she used to be an AUSA. Says a lot.

Sunny Hostin didn’t receive the memo that the founding fathers made the Second Amendment to protect the people from the government like the on they fled from.
It stands to reason now more than ever us verses the swamp is not a game it a matter of freedom.

This is like saying the First Amendment was designed to protect slavery al la The Lincoln-Douglass debates.

Not just that, but the 2nd Amendment was a direct result of the American Revolution against the British. It is there to provide individual freedom from government tyranny!

This particular useful idiot is just rewriting history in typical Communist fashion...

Dire times indeed!

The 2nd Amendment has been hated and lied about for over fifty eight years. Even older when you consider the SCOTUS for decades claimed the 2nd was a “Collective” right, before Heller.

Anyone remember Carl Bakal’s book THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS from around 1967? A hit piece if ever there was one. It was released in paperback as NO RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS.

It was published after JKF’s death and BEFORE Bobby Kennedy was murdered, whose death set of a wave of anti-gun and anti-violence which is still with us today.

Those promoting this propaganda effort like Hostin educational background should be an issue examined and disclosed. Where did they go to school ? And who did they associate with ? Then come out a brain washed sock puppet.
