The ‘Nice Girl’ Who Saved the Second Amendment

Very informative, Thanks.

At a time when armies were marching around England, ordinary people became anxious about surrendering guns. Then, in 1689, the English Bill of Rights responded by granting Protestants the right to “have Arms for their Defence.” Malcolm wasn’t the first person to notice this, of course, but as an American who had studied political loyalty in England, she approached the topic from a fresh angle. “The English felt a need to put this in writing because the king had been disarming his political opponents,” she says. “This is the origin of our Second Amendment. It’s an individual right.”

BOOM, headshot. Awesome article.

Yes! Good read. A friend of mine doesn't think anyone needs an AR-15. I say I need it to help keep my government honest!
