Stupid like THIS should hurt! Lefty prof claiming 2nd Amendment was about maintaining slavery and white supremacy gets brutal history/civics lesson

In our line of work, we read a lot of really bad takes so you know when we say, ‘WOW, THIS TAKE IS BAD,’ it’s really really really bad.

Like this tweet from Jared Yates Sexton.

You know, for being a supposedly educated person he doesn’t know jacksh*t about the Constitution.

Just sayin’.

The Second Amendment was about maintaining slavery and as a white supremacist guard against uprisings by people of color.

Knowing that, there’s no real need to go much further in diagnosing why the Right sweatily clings to it with such desperation.

Slavery.

Dude, no.

That is the most idiotic, nonsensical, fact-less, baseless, drivel I’ve ever read. Perhaps that’s ever been written.

Reading is fundamental.

And Reagan was pro gun control.

Democrats have always favored gun control and it’s always been to keep guns out of the hands of the black people they imported and hate.

And want to control.

Yes.

That's not what it was about. It was about the fact that Americans had just waged war against a government for 2 years and wanted to prevent that specific thing from happening again. Now you know

Please learn history. I beg you.
Also, to help you out: who started the blatantly Jim Crow legislation that prevented Dr King (a Black man) from owning a firearm? You'd be surprised, but it's the Democrats.
