(374 posts)96. Let's not forget who it was that came over here to America
to rape, murder, pillage, and enslave. It was the European man, not the American man. It was my American forefathers who put an end to the tyranny of your forefathers. They started it in 1783 and finished the job in 1865 for slavery in the American colonies was a European institution long before it was ever an American institution. True Americans despise slavery and that's yet one more reason we preserve the RKBA, to ensure that it never happens here again.

Since we need a militia, the right of the people to keep and bear arms should not be infringed...
