I'm going to be honest. The founders wanted guns for freedom to fight the things they had already fought. Such as Freedom of Religion where Christians were not free to be Christians. Ironically, today in America Christians are treating other people the way that Christians ran away from, that's fact. We had to find a Country Christians could be Christians and not suffer from the judgement of being a Christian.
So we decided to take over the Indians. (Yea, the history books are wrong, when can you admit that?)
We used the very same Fear Mongering force the Right is using today. "Fear me or else" tactics.
Today we see the gun owners trying to use the same tactic we used CENTURIES ago. But guess what. The people don't fear you because you have a weapon idiot. I have weapons too idiot..
This is only the past and the same is occurring today globally. It's not rocket science but parties make it over complicated to understand.
