The founding fathers feared Fascism.

Thus, they wanted their descendants to be able to defend themselves.

Yeah and the americans most protective of the 2nd amendment are the same ones promoting and practicing fascism.

American cops would have tackled him to the ground, kicked his head open and shot whatever was still twitching because 1. the legal and social cost of doing so is miniscule to them and 2. hey that guy could've been carryin! better safe than sorry!

Also the founding fathers didn't think blacks were human and only wanted the right to vote for landowning white men, ie themselves. The right to bear arms was to ensure those blacks didn't go about trying to assert their humanity.

America was founded on a tax evasion scheme. Which, admirably ballsy I admit, but it was drenched in imperialistic hypocrisy even before the constitution's ink dried. if they thought they could get away with fascism back then they would have embraced it

basically fuck the founders, we're still cleaning up their goddamned messes 250 years later

also fuck the police, all of 'em, everywhere
