Our second amendment right was the right to bear arms . I happen to notice how the first five amendments barely have anything to do with human rights. The term the “land of opportunity” and “equality” only applied to white men . During those days even white women barely had rights . America was an anti-semitic, racist country in that time period . Many people weren’t treated fairly including the Native Americans who were on the land before it was “discovered”. America was not fair for all. It was a land of opportunity for white men.
