    The Second Amendment (Amendment II) to the United States Constitution protects the right to keep and bear arms. It was ratified on December 15, 1791

    Insurrection Act of 1807

    Just 16 years from “we must be allowed arms to protect from tyrannical government” to “if the people take up arms against tyrannical government we can massacre them”.

    Really makes you wonder why the NRA and the millions of gun nuts haven’t campaigned to overturn that act. It’s almost as if they’ve never had any intention of using their arms to protect against tyranny…

      Look up NRA Russian funding, it was happenong for tears. Marina Butina wormed her way into the upper eschelons of the NRA to promote Russian goals, and she’s just one of the more visible examples that was caught.
