What the Second Amendment REALLY Means.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Catch that?  “Militia” refers to the state-regulated slave patrols in the southern states, which dated back to the mid 1700s.  For just one example:  In Georgia, all plantation owners and/or their white male employees were required to be members of the Georgia Militia, which made monthly inspections of all slaves' quarters throughout the state, with the purpose of ferreting out any possible escapes or uprisings that them uppity slaves might be planning.
