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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
