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.

Additionally, in 1789 the country was looking to the demise of slavery. Tobacco land was dying and Whitney’s gin and Slater’s powered loom were in the future. The Constitution sunsetted the int’l slave trade in 1808. The Founders, as great as they were, could not know Slater and Whitney would give slavery new and greater life. However anyone can review these facts and know that the 2nd amendment had nothing to do with slave patrols. Anyone save this moron writer
