On Hartmann’s The Big Picture with Thom Hartmann, he said, “But I want to tell you something you don’t know about the Second Amendment ,something that’s been lost in the pages of history – that is very crucial to informing today’s current gun debate. And that’s this: The real reason the Second Amendment was ratified, and why it says ‘State’ instead of ‘Country,’ was to preserve the Slave Patrol Militias in the Southern States, which was necessary to get Virginia’s vote. Founders Patrick Henry, George Mason, and James Madison were totally clear on that…and we all should be too…Today’s Second Amendment is linked to our nation’s disturbing history of slavery.

Wait until he finds out that the first slave owner in the US was Anthony Johnson, a black man and he owned a guy named John Casor, also black man.
Hey .. OK ... you ain’t gonn’a make no slave out’a ME, mr. federal agency wit’ all your regulations and the mulatto’s Eo’s
Don't like it? Then you have a remedy, get congress to pass a constitutional amendment repealing it and get 3/4 of the states to sign on to it (Lol! Good luck with that...). Until then it's the supreme law of the land regardless of how or why it was added..
I wonder if they ever heard of the Federalist Papers.
I guess the Bible was written to protect slavery, too.....
Slaves weren’t allowed to own guns. Either were Jews in World War II Germany.
What do liberal liars make of that?
If this was “lost in the pages of history”, how did he come by this knowlege? He’d have to be about 250 years old.....
Black revisionism at work. It is an interesting and disturbing phenomenon. Freed slaves were denied their right to arms by southern Democrats then (and now).
The Democrats (not all fortunately), Commies, Marxists and other radicals will rewrite history in their role as ministers of truth to push these absurd narratives.
One of the Founders, George Mason wrote, “To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them. “, Later on, one of the first projects of the NRA after its founding was to provide firearms and training to newly freed slaves. Any society that depends on keeping one class of people in bondage to another has generally restricted the spread of weapons.
So, The Bill of Rights was all about slavery? Or, did The Founding Fathers in their magnificent brilliance, just mis-categorize this one Amendment?
What a load of crap. Useful Idiots on parade.
IMHO this was written in an attempt to beat the real truth to the punch. Glen Beck explained only yesterday on his afternoon radio show how the 2nd AM empowered blacks who were not allowed to own guns OR knives.
What do liberal liars make of that?
Yeah, but that was a LOOOONG time ago.Stop using facts, please. We deal only in feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelings now.
Boy, talk about making yourself look stupid!
These self appointed experts on all things black are doing more damage to their image and all the bigots in the world combined.
These statists or should I say, fascists want the whole Bill of Rights gone and the 2nd amendment is the entry point.
I wonder if this guy has any sense of how many plantations there were in 1789? I wonder if he knew that Georgia was a prison colony and that many individuals in other states came over as indentured servants or tenant farmers? 2nd amendment...yeah sure just like Obama is the second coming.
Dear liberals of ALL colors. If this is true,why does The Constitution state "All men are created equal.....?"
Where do I find support for this? I am aware that a higher percent of blacks owned slaves and a large percentage of American Indians own them as well.
