Oh yeah. I have my own thoughts on 2A. My guess is that the founding fathers wanted to ensure that what they did to the indigenous people here couldn’t be done again to them.

I’ve read up on black gun clubs and think it’s smart for everyone to have at least a working knowledge of guns and the laws around them.

You're not 100% wrong... it was also used to keep slaves.

There was also a time when women couldn't vote, but we didn't throw out democracy as the answer, we ensured they had the right and ability as well... we didn't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
