White Americans designed gun rights to steal land natives: Activist
I was under the impression that the NRA was formed with the intention of allowing emancipated slaves to protect themselves against rampaging white folks of the KKK pursuasion... but I could be wrong, I suppose. [Iran Press TV] The right of Americans to keep and carry firearms was guaranteed by the Second Amendment of the US Constitution to allow white settlers in the United States to steal the land from indigenous Americans
...who also had guns, bought from white shopkeepers because Indian furs were just as good as white furs...
and control black slaves, a civil rights activist in Georgia says.

"That Second Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms was necessary at the founding of this country because the white settlers were in the process of stealing the continent, stealing the land from the Native Americans, from the Indians and many of them were slave holders," said Bruce Dixon, chairman of the Georgia Green Party and managing editor of Black Agenda Report.
Never heard of it, him, or them.
"The local officials needed to guarantee free white men the right to bear arms because these free white men patrolled the roads, looking for slaves, checking passes, and guaranteeing that Native Americans and Indians and slaves were not plotting an insurrection or travelling for unauthorized means," Dixon told Press TV on Saturday.

"When the frontier was closed and when slavery was over, the gun lobby and some other people sort of rewrote their own history, but that's the history and that's why these laws are there, and until we face up to our actual history, our hope of stemming gun violence are just not there at all," he added.

US President Barack Obama
I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody...
said on Friday that for too long Americans have been "blind" to the "unique mayhem" caused by gun violence in the US.
