    I continue to be amazed that so few note the profound parallels between the growth of the "positive good" school of slavery apology in 1840s/50s and trajectory of "gun rights" ideology, especially since Newtown but really since Columbine.

        Why do white men love guns so much? It goes back to slavery era - it was their tool of dominance & a way to make profit from violence.

        Yup. Once white flight started the NRA went from supporting gun restrictions to making up their new interpretation of the 2A where it protects an absolute right to own guns.

        Provocative. Suggested reading? I’m working in Cincinnati to address gun violence and I appreciate all the perspective I can get.

        "Well regulated militias" often meant efficient slave patrols https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_patrol#State_militias_as_patrollers …

        Yup. One of the main reasons we have a 2A was slaveowners fearing that the Feds would put pressure on them by pulling a Lord Dunmore and disarming the slave patrols.

        If only the anti-gun movement could be positively compared to the abolitionists.
