The Second Amendment Was Ratified to Preserve Slavery

In the beginning, there were the militias. In the South, they were also called the slave patrols, and they were regulated by the states.
In Georgia, for example, a generation before the American Revolution, laws were passed in 1755 and 1757 that required all plantation owners or their male white employees to be members of the Georgia Militia, and for those armed militia members to make monthly inspections of the quarters of all slaves in the state. The law defined which counties had which armed militias and even required armed militia members to keep a keen eye out for slaves who may be planning uprisings.
By the time the US Constitution was ratified, hundreds of substantial slave uprisings had occurred across the South. Blacks outnumbered whites in large areas, and the state militias were used to both prevent and to put down slave uprisings. As Dr. Bogus points out, slavery can only exist in the context of a police state, and the enforcement of that police state was the explicit job of the militias.

YAASS - Yet Another Active School Shooter
https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2022/05/24/active-shooter-reported-at-uvalde-elementary-school-district-says/Details about any injuries are unknown, but UCISD said there is an active shooter at Robb Elementary School.
Law enforcement is on site. Your cooperation is needed at this time by not visiting the campus, the district posted just after 12:15 p.m.
If only there was a way to help stop this from happening so much.
If only....
