“White” men were deputized by law as slave catchers and militia men to capture slaves who fled and to put down many slave revolts. That is the 2nd Amendment decoded. Fugitive Slave Laws of 1793, 1850; and the Omnibus Crime Bill of 1968 and later laws reinforced this white supremacy base. Supreme Court decisions of 1872 authorizing bounty hunters’ illegal entries and lethal force contributed as well. In short, the laws of the United States join with its culture regimes to repress blacks.
