Here’s a thought exercise. Please indulge this idea: if slavery had never taken root in the U.S., would there have been a need for a 2nd Amendment to this nation’s constitution?
Take into consideration Roger Williams University’s Distinguished Research Professor of Law, Carl T. Bogus, whose thought-throttling paper was published in the University of California Davis Law Review. Titled, “The Hidden History of the 2nd Amendment” (2019), the article documents and explores ongoing conversations among a number of contributors to the Constitution (1789), which later led to the framing of the Bill of Rights back in 1791. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
