Oh, No!
A Trump appointee believes that the founders, who had just finished overthrowing their government, put the 2nd Amendment in the Constitution to preserve their right to...overthrow the government. That can't be right, why would anybody believe they'd want to do THAT? |

This is what I was taught in eighth grade civics. That was in 1962, and it is no longer taught by the liberal educational establishment.
Just because the liberals dismiss this purpose of the second amendment, does not make it any less factual. Any unbiased student of history would come to the same conclusion. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. � James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
