Maybe you're trying to be ironical, but the 2nd Amendment reads "being necessary to the security of a free State"
As in, "free to form militias to beat down slave rebellions"
So unless you've got a problem with your slaves, not sure it's so neat.
- n3rdy 14y agoWas about to post what a perversion that interpretation is of the 2nd amendment, but holy cow can't actually argue with that. What a shame they wrote "free state", but then again, they were forming a new government, so what should we have expected? And if actions speak louder than words, most of the founders who served as presidents didn't exactly "walk the walk" constitutionally when they held that position.
