The 14th amendment was passed in 1866 and states {quote]Passed by Congress June 13, 1866, and ratified July 9, 1868, the 14th amendment extended liberties and rights granted by the Bill of Rights to former slaves.[/quote] So if you are saying that the 2nd amendment doesn't apply to people who were not citizens at the time, even though the 14th amendment says otherwise, you are in essence saying that any amendments passed after the original bill of rights do not count. That’s not how it works. at the time of the 2A slaves had no rights. So 1791-1866. When the 14th amendment passed they gained the rights of the 2A and all others in the constitution. You can’t go back and say well slaves should have had the right at that time because in the future they were given the right. 3 minutes ago, Alpha_TATEr said: i think the statements are getting mixed up. i believe he is saying that at the time, the 2A didn't apply to slaves, which is correct, but has since been changed. Ding ding.

I dunno if that makes sense. Got it. Yea we agree.

I thought that was what you were saying, but reading back through the thread, I did not take it that way. So just to be clear, now all people can own guns per the second amendment, regardless of color.

July 29, 20214 yr So, if the second amendment is racist because it was written at a time when black men were not free men in this country thus meaning the amendment was not written with them in mind, does that make all of the bill of rights racist?....

July 30, 20214 yr Anti Vaxxer Naomi Wolf Joins Trump’s Doomed Tech Suit https://www.thedailybeast.com/anti-vaxxer-naomi-wolf-joins-donald-trumps-doomed-tech-suit Quote Former President Donald Trump’s legal crusade against big tech has a new ally: Naomi Wolf. The former Democratic campaign adviser, feminist advocate, and anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist has signed on as a co-plaintiff in the Trump-led social media lawsuit criticized as a doomed fundraising "stunt” by legal experts. In an amended complaint filed in federal court on Wednesday, Wolf says that Twitter blew up her personal and professional life by sharing her public tweets containing bizarre vaccine misinformation to news organizations and that the suspension of her account caused her to lose "over half of her business model, investors in her business, and other sources of income.” Aw, poor baby. Consequences bit your idiotic ass, did they? Good.
