Is Gun Ownership a Right?

Whoa. Back up a bit, pardner. I said nothing about the Founding Fathers making "mistakes." I was noting that they were racists and sexists who considered only white men as being equal and endowed with God given, unalienable rights, not white women or people of other colors.


I know that some, like Mason and Washington, said that they opposed slavery, but continued to practice it. Their words were contradicted by their actions.

I don’t feel that they were racist or sexist. For this reason it was time that they lived in. Hind site is 20/20. We only see them as racist or sexist due to the time we live in. Now GW did have one slave, but and it is big by law he couldn’t set him free. His slave was treated as a family member, and if I recall correctly he put it in his like will open his death his slave would be free.
