Wounded Knee was among the first federally backed gun confiscation attempts in United States history. It ended in the senseless murder of 297 people.
The Second Amendment, the right of the people to take up arms in defense of themselves, their families, and property in the face of invading armies or an oppressive government. The Second Amendment was written by people who fled oppressive and tyrannical regimes in Europe, and it refers to the right of American citizens to be armed for defensive purposes, should such tyranny arise in the United States.
Wounded Knee is the prime example of why the Second Amendment exists, and why we should vehemently resist any attempts to infringe on our Rights to Bear Arms. Without the Second Amendment we will be totally stripped of any ability to defend ourselves and our families.
The feds don't call it murder when they do it, they call it "law enforcement". Remember Waco?
ReplyDeleteIt would have turned out much differently if the Native Americans were armed as well as the government. Makes one think.

ReplyDeleteThis event was never a question of if,but when.
ReplyDeleteWounded Knee Creek was a white mans deception. They were shot down without warning. They were shot as they ran out of their homes. This event has nothing to do with second amendment rights. The Indians were all second class anyway. They likely were not even consider citizens at this time.
ReplyDeleteThe Indians were the victims of "evil" white government men who were getting rid of them on behalf of white civilians.
If there is a class or race that has ANY real issue with how they have been treated here in the U.S. it is, by far, the Native Americans.
ReplyDeleteThe Blacks and LGBT and muslims or any other class for that matter have NFI.
Criminals don't come close to killing as many people has the gov't does.
ReplyDeleteEuropean remains have been found in America that date back several hundred years prior to the Indians ,The real Native Americans are French.
