The Left's War On Guns

@conan

It’s called resentment…it run extremely deep in “some African Americans”.

This is projection

Have you seen your posts? They are the most resentful posts here. “I’m a principled conservative, but because I hate the attention libs get, I’ll throw all that out the window to own the libz”

[conan]

I’m not bitter angry Black man…BTW can I say that or I’m a racist?

[FreeAndClear]

That’s a funny word to use on this forum….

Sure with guaranteed No Cash Bail. Just give the accused an Obama Phone so they can be called with their court date.

More projection.

You’ve already claimed to be racist. That’s on you. I haven’t seen it myself.

Now are you going to keep projecting, or are you going to rebut my posts that you feel are incorrect?

I can understand resentment against those that captured, sold, transported and exploited Africans but to imagine it only happened in America and we invented it is to demonstrate a total ignorance of history. What I can’t understand is that no credit is given to the 600,000 white men that fought and died to end that practice. Nor can I understand why other Black Africans and Muslims get a free pass for their part in the slave trade. If someone gave their life to free me I would be at least a little appreciative.

Why on earth would I, the beneficiary of all that sacrifice, give any of it up? Including the right to bear arms.

Because, as you said, they got some stuff wrong. It was written by men, 250 years ago.

Isn’t it possible it got this wrong too?

I offer as evidence:

Rate of gun violence deaths In U.S. is higher than much of the world : Goats and Soda : NPR

There’s a way to change it that you guys always gloss over. Let’s go that route.

Who said slavery was unique to the US? Of course I care more about the history of slavery that directly impacted my ancestors here. That doesn’t mean anyone thinks it only happened here.

Black men fought in the war as well.

One side was only fighting to keep slaves… the other side was only fighting because they got hit first.

We would have not had a country if distraught, slaveholding founders, released their slaves?

[BraveGear]

Slavery directly impacted my ancesotrs as well as I lost two of them, brothers, who were fighting to free yours.

They weren’t going to. No. There would have been at least two countries. And the founders were representatives, not kings.

The only thing better would have been firing it at a target.

Well hopefully they were fighting for the union. Hopefully they were truly fighting to free slaves… and not just fighting because they were attacked by the confederacy (self defense)

Ah, the flailing of the uninformed. The structure and organization of the militia was well established in the colonies long before the revolution, or the constitution. The militia formed from volunteers, with no pay, bringing their own guns. It wasn’t a conscripted, or predesignated force. It depended on an armed populace to fill it’s ranks with men already armed. The founders rightly were suspect of politicians controlling a standing army. In the day, even through the first half of our nation, the officers controlling the army came from the families of the wealthy elite.

Again. Yes. You describe what a militia was at the time.

What is the equivalent of a militia, today?

All of us who are armed banding together to defend.

[TheRedComet]

The emancipation proclamation made ending slavery a central goal of the Union war effort.

Any soldier who was killed after that point was killed freeing the slaves.

@TheRedComet

I’ve never said the constitution was perfect or flawless. It was created by men. And men have flaws. The plight of the black slaves was the greatest flaw that took generations to correct.

But they got a good number of things right. One of those is the codification of the right to bear arms.

Black people fought and died, alongside allied whites, Asians, and Hispanics, to ensure that the constitution and the rights it codified and protected were rightfully extended to colored Americans. To become “of the people.”

Why on earth would I, the beneficiary of all that sacrifice, give any of it up? Including the right to bear arms.

Can you image how messed up the constitution would be if the woke libs were allowed to rewrite it?

[TheRedComet]

No.

But there had to be a compromise somewhere.

The slaveholding south wouldn’t have signed the constitution without some guarantee that their immoral institution of slavery would be protected.

It was a dirty compromise, but it was one that had to be made to get the constitution ratified and the nation created.

Imagine the situation had the slaver states formed their own country from the beginning. It would have been much worse for our ancestors in the long run.

Maybe you misread the post.

I was talking about the personal ownership of slaves by some of the founders. If they were so distraught over slavery… why didn’t they personally release their slaves immediately after signing?

I’m basically challenging the notion that they hated slavery
