Stupidity at that level is criminal.

The right to bear arms goes back to the signing of the Magna Carta, dated 1215. A great monument to the expression of liberty was contained in that document, and subsequent versions, that explicitly stated that no man, including the King, was above the law, that it applied to all.

The Castle Doctrine was also asserted, in which the lands and domicile assigned to free men was to be recognized, and the right to take measures to secure that heritage were delineated, which implies the right to take up arms in its defense.

Startlingly revolutionary for its time, the Magna Carta also tended to freeze in place various classes, and reflected the stratification of its authors. The law may have applied to everybody, but it was strikingly different in how it applied to one class as compared to another. After all, not everybody had a heritage or a patent on property. A goodly number WERE the property, under the feudal system as it then existed.

Of course Danny’s armed security detail might have a different view.

This is so utterly stupid you have to wonder how Glover managed to fool studio execs into paying him millions for acting roles. Truly, this level of stupidity and lying is galactic-sized.

Must be terribly difficult going through as a mute with turrets ....

The left will always, ALWAYS degenerate and resort to the race-card. They used to at least attempt to stand on principle and logic until they sensed that their ass was being handed to them and then fall back to phony claims of racism.

Now days, seeing how well it works to stifle condemnation of Obama, they don't even try. The race-card is the very first one played.

Don't be cowed by it. Call them on it loudly and scoffingly.

Danny Glover; proving that even someone with the brain of a
hamster can have a successful acting career. Winning!

A radio talk show host, Thom Hartmann, seems to be the originator of these,... this time at least.

Aah the source for this drivel appears.

"Thom Hartmann is certainly not the first person to openly acknowledge the role that protecting slavery played in crafting the second amendment. In an article published in the U.C. Davis Law Review, entitled The Hidden History of the Second Amendment, Professor Carl T. Bogus wrote that the Second Amendment was crafted to assure the southern states that Congress would not undermine the slave system by disarming the militia, which were then the principal instruments of slave control throughout the South."

----

Bogus, the name fits very well, is a long time opponent of arms rights. A college/collaborator of the infamous Michael A. Bellesiles, who got caught making up his facts in his anti-arms rights screeds, specifically "Arming America".

But as Clayton Cramer has shown, it's really early gun control laws that were designed to keep the newly freed blacks in "their place".

The Constitution's Second Amendment was created to bolster slavery and capture land from Native Americans, award winning actor Danny Glover told a group of students at a Texas A&M sponsored event on Thursday.

DANG!

PING!
