Latest on 2nd Amend & Slavery
Another law prof. weighs in against the claim that the 2nd Amend was ratified to protect slavery.
I question this scholar's position regarding the original meaning of the second amendment. But at least he's setting the historical record straight about slavery. Many of these academics, and their social progressive supporters, are stuck on "A well regulated Militia ...". But that's just one half of the equation. The other half recognizes the value of an armed civilian populace. So the founders' use of militia could rightfully be called toady's civil defense.
