The framers of the United States guaranteed its “free” people a right to carry and shoot terrifying weapons but enslaved countless people transported against their will from the African continent to serve as dehumanized beasts of burden. The framers of the United States guaranteed its “free” people a right to carry and shoot terrifying weapons but give the right to vote only to those who showed their white and male credentials. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
