On Hartmanns The Big Picture with Thom Hartmann, he said, But I want to tell you something you dont know about the Second Amendment ,something thats been lost in the pages of history that is very crucial to informing todays current gun debate. And thats 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 Virginias vote. Founders Patrick Henry, George Mason, and James Madison were totally clear on that and we all should be too Todays Second Amendment is linked to our nations disturbing history of slavery.

"He has excited domestic Insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the Inhabitants of our Frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known Rule of Warfare, is an undistinguished Destruction, of all Ages, Sexes and Conditions."
That's the other reason everyone wanted to have arms--to defend their families against Indian attacks. Of course the liberal view is that the Indians were always peaceful unless attacked by the genocidal white Americans.
This is a textbook example of what I call “malicious ignorance”; i.e., turning your eyes away from anything that might disperse the unknowingness in your mind.
There is no historical doubt that the basis for the 2nd Amendment was the inclusion of the same right in Britain’s 1689 Bill of Right - to defend against potential tyranny.
All else is lawyer’s lies.
So all the more reason to support the 2nd Amendment NOW. Slavery must never happen again to anyone.
Well, um, the Constitution doesn’t say all men are created equal. The Declaration of Independence does.
This ignorant racist should listen to this utube posted in Free Republic

When you have a gun you no longer are a slave. Without them you are.
Now, Mr. Hartmann and all your liberal Leftist trash: If you come to disarm Americans, we armed Americans will kill you. Do you get it or are you just too stupid to understand the implication? Assuming you are stupid: You're gonna be, like dead, dude. And that includes a lot of your fellow travelers.
