Why he gotta bring niggers into it?
I get it .... b ut wtf.
That bit was just a gimmie bs line of crap. 2nd Amendment was written because the British tried to take arms away.
Battles of Lexington and Concord.
In April of 1775, the British Royal Military Governor of Massachusetts, General Thomas Gage, sent 800 British Army Regulars, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith, on a preemptive raid to seize guns from American patriots at Lexington and Concord.
George Mason of Virginia stated: “To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.”
A warning was sent from Boston’s Old North Church that the British were coming, as recounted in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem, “Paul Revere’s Ride”. On April 19th, “Patriots’ Day,” the British continued their march to Lexington and Concord intent on seizing arms and arresting Tea Party leader Samuel Adams and Massachusetts Provincial Congress president John Hancock. John Hancock had previously experienced British tax collectors confiscating his merchant ship Liberty in 1768
Hancock had declared to the Massachusetts Provincial Congress, April 15, 1775:
“In circumstances dark as these, it becomes us, as men and Christians, to reflect that, whilst every prudent measure should be taken to ward off the impending judgments …(a day) … be set apart as a Day of Public Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer … to confess their sins … to implore the Forgiveness of all our Transgression.”
Connecticut Governor Jonathan Trumbull, whom Washington called ‘the first of the patriots’, was the only colonial governor at the start of the Revolution to support the patriot cause. Trumbull proclaimed a Day of Fasting, April 19, 1775, that:“God would graciously pour out His Holy Spirit on us to bring us to a thorough repentance and effectual reformation that our iniquities may not be our ruin; that He would restore, preserve and secure the liberties of this and all the other British American colonies, and make the land a mountain of Holiness, and habitation of righteousness forever.”
he did it because it was an example of why the law is needed in the usa that actually has happened already... not the reason for the law, but a reason that actually happened even drives the point home further.
I guess he needed to use a non-threatening to the government, example. I think it fell flat but if that's the case I understand.
the British tried to take arms away.
Why read history when you can just repeat it. It's legit sòoooooooooo evs boring ennywey!!
Sway white retard voters probably.
The south was occupied militarily and pillaged for decades. It's only because of their guns that they gained back even a fraction of their liberty.
White southerners sure. Who cares about the joggers.
Agreed. Amongst other things, they sided with the occupiers and used their new position to lord over white southerners. Just like today really.
