When the second amendment was written bearing arms meant you had a sword or a single shot black powder blunderbuss. Machine guns and RPG's were not yet invented so how did they sneak in ?  Lack of judicial oversite ,now too late to fix , the USA is doomed.

LOL. IMO the INTENT of the second amendment was to ensure that the administration could not become dictators, and that was by allowing the citizens to be well armed so that they could fight back. Now that the administration is armed with machine guns, it is essential that the citizens are not armed only with muzzle loaders.

 

As I understand it, the founding fathers had a great fear of a future administration becoming kings themselves.

 

Any dictatorial government fears the citizens and will do their best to disarm them, the easier to control them.

I tend to agree. As a white American, I think the white race is not only highly over rated, but also the source of so many of America's problems. Easy to blame immigrants and people of color. It is mostly deflection, based on ignorance. There are an awful lot of white people who are low class trash, thieves, gangsters, rapists and social retards. Just think of the entirety of Russia. 

What a load of <deleted>. ALL demographics of any colour, ethnicity or creed are composed of good AND bad actors. It's nothing to do with race.

 

Your condemnation of all Russians says a lot about you, personally.
