The sanctity of the Second Amendment for all Americans is a myth. It is a myth today and it has been a myth from the beginning.
Gun rights in this country were forged on the idea that white people had the right to take native people’s land by the barrel of the gun. They were forged on the idea that black people were living pieces of property that needed to be kept in place by armed slave patrols, militias, and posse justice.
No matter what your position on guns is, the Second Amendment stems from an ideology that is rooted in the belief that white people have the right to control others with their weapons.
