... The Spartans ALSO denied the Helots the RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS ...
And the US-Americans denied the right of the Red Indians to wear fire arms. You replaced this very bad slaves with better slaves from Africa: Negroes. And you "Americans" murdered Red "Indians" in masses with the help of fire arms (for example directly or by killing bisons). And you supressed the black slaves with fire arms.
And now you own in masses private war weapons for what kind of private use?
You are certainly correct in your account of the USE of firearms by americans of the past in fighting american Indians. It is not clear to me that lots of blacks were shot in the past.
This I did not say. The slave-holders did not destroy their slaves - why should they do so? Their slaves were their forced laborers - a special kind of prisoners - and the weapons fetishsist of the USA today are in the tradition of this "prison guards" - of everyone. This all follows a logic of costs and profit and not a logic of humanity and justice.
At the present time the use of firearms in my neighborhood is largely in the hands of blacks.
Why sould negroes not be able to do wrong things? Because slaveholders use weapons weasin make not free, weapons enslave everyone - specially slaveholders or people who like to force others with weapons. On the own free will not any human being which is proud to be human being likes to be a slavholder or criminal and sometimes frustration, desperation, depression or fear and ntoi only anger and aggressions let people make wrong decisions too. Weapons are no solution for nothting - in best case they are only a kind of crook for people, who can not stand on their own.
I am fascinated to learn that Indians were denied the use of firearms, BY LAW? you got a citation?. Disarming people is nothing new-----and not INVENTED by americans
My knowledge is in this case from US western films, where the worst criminals were often weapon traders, who sold weapons to the Red Indian tribes.
