The History of the Second Amendment
Guns were made to kill! The second Amendment is as mean as I stated it in another post recently, "The NRA Is At It Again: Guns, Guns, Guns in Va". [https://www.christiandiscourse.net/discussion/763/the-nra-is-at-it-again-guns-guns-guns-in-va#latest]. A fellow poster took issue when I cited historical facts for the genesis of The second Amendment:
"'The framers wanted citizens to have weapons of war'" to protect their slave-importing/holding, treaty breaking, Indian-killing, to establish colonialism...History know this is the unadulterated truth! This is the "whole purpose of the 2nd" Amendment.
Once again, here it is in questions and answers format. The voice of history is so loud on the subject matter, a deaf man can hear. I further stated:
"... an added reason why guns ("Second Amendment") made it into law-- fear of revenge, nasty deeds, and greed holding on to ill-gotten gains.
You say, "where is the beef" (Proof)? What was the original intent of the Second Amendment?
"The amendment was ratified by the States and authenticated by Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson as: A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed".
Why did the Founding Fathers create the Second Amendment?
The Second Amendment was created so that the states could form militias or armies to destroy insurrections or slave rebellions because the federal government had no standing military for a long time. The Founding Fathers were frightened by a standing army, because they feared coups.
What is the exact wording of the Second Amendment?
The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Such language has created considerable debate regarding the Amendment's intended scope.
The Second Amendment was birth "to destroy insurrections or slave rebellions"! The then, U. S. Government was in stalk violation of God's will and commands. She held men slaves when God made them free. Who is the "animal" and the "savage"? The Second Amendment is a memorial of greed, EVIL, hate, slavery, oppression, FEAR, and religious hypocrisy.
America, your soul is black within, and your hands are bloody! From a purely historical point of view, what race of people supported the slave-trade industry, made laws to maintain control, and solid the "land of freedom" with the blood of Native Americans and African slaves? The number killed far exceeded the six million Jews killed during the Holocaust. The cry of justice can still be heard today.
Please don't get mad with me. Get rid of the Second Amendment and don't support the NRA. America, break with the sins of the past. God called you into existence to be a blessing to all, not just the land and gun owners. CM

Your source was a google search? Give me a break.

Reformed,
I am really sorry you failed to accept the truth as revealed in history. If I am wrong, disprove it with your ghost sources. Don't be pathetic, be informed, Mr. Reformed. CM

How about give some primary sources, not a google search, then I will pay attention.

Mr. Reformed,
Your supposedly statement-question is reeking with insincerity. You "can't handle the truth" of America's un-sanitized history. Besides, it's homework for you to do. Bargaining "to pay attention" is one more tactic to buy time searching for a nail to hang your obstinacy. CM

Again, post a real source and I will review it. Primary sources only. Not conjecture.
-
Reformed,
It's with sadness, that your trustworthiness to evaluate substantive materials, in these forums, are viewed with gross skepticism. CM

And instead of providing sources you engage in ad hominem....

What is this foolishness? Is this not endangering a child and the public? This is shameful! Little Greta wants to save lives. This little girl seems she wants to take lives. Get rid of the Second Amendment and don't support the NRA. America. CM

The pic of this little girl is further mockery of the Second Amendment (never envision an AR-15). THIS GOT TO STOP! NOW! I am outrage to see this! Wow, unto the next generation! CM
-
How is it a mockery? I'm PROUD of that little girl for her honesty and bravery. It is people like you who should be ashamed. You literally accused her of looking like she wants to kill someone. She doesn't look like that at all. You are a fear monger who knows nothing about guns and the responsible use of them.

Hate (even though perhaps not admitted and justified as something else makes blind, @C_M_ ... your posts on topics of "trump" and "guns" show it.

Mr. Wolfgang,
Is there something wrong about disliking "weapons of war" (guns)? No! Where do you come with the "hate" thing against me? Isn't this word a bit too strong?
Did I ever said I hated President Trump? No! Please, re-think your word usage toward me and your classification of my views on Mr. Trump. Others in these forums, e.g. Bill, have said many things about the U S President's handling of matters. Oh, have you forgotten about your own remarks about the U. S. Mr. Trump, and Obama? How can "the pot call the kettle black"? Why are you singling me out and calling my views, "hate"? Besides, many of my views, if you look closely can be verified. Perhaps, you have a blind devotion to Mr. Trump, albeit, over many miles.
I ask again, is it against the U. S. laws to not be in love with its President? Don't beat up the messenger. Your beloved President may be .... CM

Actually @Wolfgang was spot on.

The Mysterious Meaning of the Second Amendment
Even with the help of powerful 21st-century linguistic databases, the phrase “keep and bear arms” remains debatable.

Reformed should benefit from a close read of this article. The Second Amendment is truly a "two-century-old text" enshrouded in an ugly history. CM
PS. I am not afraid of truth. Guns were made to kill. CM
