As you show, the second amendment was another compromise. It took the Civil War to "fix" slavery. Perhaps the increasing number of shootings will provide the motivation to "fix" the second amendment. One could only hope so.jfwozniaknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10948583.post-73216913120817201322013-01-17T11:49:49.215-06:002013-01-17T11:49:49.215-06:00Awesome blog.

Lee. They tend not to quote the Vice President of the Confederate States of America, Alexander Stephens.<br /><br /><br /><br /> The prevailing ideas entertained by [Thomas Jefferson] and most of the leading statesmen at the time of the formation of the old constitution, were that the enslavement of the African was in violation of the laws of nature; that it was wrong in principle, socially, morally, and politically ... Those ideas, however, were fundamentally wrong. They rested upon the assumption of the equality of races. This was an error. It was a sandy foundation, and the government built upon it fell when the "storm came and the wind blew."<br /><br /> Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
