Wasn't the 2nd amendment introduced at the time not only for a possible tyrannical government but also to pursue settler colonialism and general white supremacy when it came to African slaves?


Yes, it was written mostly to preserve slavery by approving armned civilian slave patrols that would go around looking and hunting for escaped slaves.

It was also use to drive off native people off their and defend their ill gotten gains when they did. So, how come people don't talk about this part? The authors of the 2nd amendment talked about it.


So really the 2nd amendment isn't meant to allow people to protect their own property. It's to allow you to steal property from other people.

Well, they'd argue that slaves were their property and the natives didn't have a concrete concept of private property that Europe had so, they were taking something that didn't "belong" to anyone.
