Chief Justice Roger Taney’s infamous opinion in Dred Scott v. Sandford circularly argued that blacks could not be citizens because if they were citizens, they would have the right to own guns: “It would give them the full liberty,” he said, “to keep and carry arms wherever they went.”

Let's just keep that in mind, shall we?

The Original Purpose Of Gun Control:
to protect the Klansmen from their victims.

May I add, to protect upper class NY elite from my Italian/Irish immigrant forebears(NY Sullivan law)
