Dr. Carol Anderson:
One of the things that I really laid out in my book "The Second" was the deep anti-Blackness that courses through this nation and that was part and parcel of the crafting of the Second Amendment. We get the narrative, the NRA narrative of the Second Amendment, as being bedrock foundational to American citizenship, that it is the thing that is there to stop domestic tyranny, that it is the thing that is your bedrock right. What we have to understand about the Second is that it was a bribe to the South to get the South to buy into the United States of America ... Just like with the three-fifths clause, just like with the 20 additional years of the Atlantic slave trade, just like with the Fugitive Slave clause that was in the Constitution, now we have the Second Amendment as this bribe to the South to not scuttle the United States of America and to do so on the back of enslaving Black people.

Sam Goldman:
There’s a history behind all this. Where does this all come from and how does this relate to a fascist offensive that involves a whole fascist movement that attempted a violent coup on January 6 to overturn an election? The GOP which has since purged itself of anyone disagrees. It's deepened and hardened the belief of millions in their fascist base that this violence was righteous and made be necessary again.
