...ex Black Panther, I b'lieve.
In any case, re the 2nd Amendment, just about any casual student of history knows why Thomas Jefferson (of all people!) LOVED the Second Amendment. He loathed the concept of a strong central government anyway, but he realized (as most Americans should) that we became Americans principally and primarily because we ALL had guns back then.
A couple of conservative professors (maybe the only two left in the United States!) were on Da Tube a couple of days ago and they said that, if you graphed individual freedom over the past 150 years, it's been going downwards since the Civil War! Yar, it's obviously subjective, but Yikes! anyway!
I'll be 64 next Thursday, and I cannot imagine what my life would be like if I were 10 years old, let's say. I thank Zeus that I was born in 1945. Living on a boat in Florida in the 1950's, going to college in the 60's and serving in the navy on tin cans. Not much I regret. I even had enuff money to live on Olde Cape Codde and own a buncha little boats.
I've got enuff guns to arm a small regiment, and I ain't gonna surrender them to anyone. I hold very little hope that "The Great American Public" will "finally wake up". They won't, they don't have the collective IQ to figure out that they're a buncha frogs approaching the boiling point. As Hyack (sp?) said,they will be enslaved by a dominating, thieving and lying liberal-fascist mega-government. "Wake up", me arse. Almost half of this country voted for that hollow suit spewing snake-
oil. Hope and change me arse.....Good luck, young 'uns!

Chow, and enjoy!
