It's for killing MAGA. Washington and his friends were worried people would try to create tyranny, so they made sure Americans all had guns to kill the people who do that.
Then why'd they add "being necessary to the security of a free State"?
Idk if the other guy is right, but it's not like they would add "to hunt down slaves" instead. So they might have put that to get the whole thing added on.
Right, but if the only way the slavers could get it in was to say it's for rebelling against tyranny, then it seems like rebelling against tyranny was the important concern.
Also I've read the declaration of secession by the confederate states and it was really explicit about slavery being the point. I think they would say it's for slavery if they thought they could get away with it
It's wrong... kinda close, but wrong (not slaves - different non-white people). Wondering if a correction gets made.
