Check your opinions. Georgia and South Carolina both ratified the Constitution before the 2A was proposed. Neither State pushed for 2A related amendments. PA, NH, NY, & RI did.
letherbeshaved.bsky.social (@letherbeshaved.bsky.social) reply parent
No it wasn't The 2A came about because several States pushed for militia control because they didn't trust a standing army controlled by the Federal gov't.

The 2A was created because several States didn't trust a standing army controlled by the Federal gov't. It was created two years before the Haitian Revolution started. And no, there wasn't a single State where slaves outnumbered whites.
