[00:12.600 --> 00:17.680] Welcome, my friends, to the Dr. Reality Podcast. [00:17.680 --> 00:19.440] I'm Dave Champion. [00:19.440 --> 00:27.120] There is an odd narrative coming out of some of the black community claiming that the Second [00:27.120 --> 00:34.160] Amendment, the right to keep and bear arms, is all about slavery. [00:34.160 --> 00:38.440] So is that valid? [00:38.440 --> 00:41.920] Partly valid, partly invalid, not valid at all? [00:41.920 --> 00:43.420] Let's find out. [00:43.420 --> 00:44.420] Let's start with this. [00:44.420 --> 00:51.200] Whether it was 1776, 1781, 1791, all key dates in the foundation and the forming of the United [00:51.200 --> 01:01.040] States, it was never presumed by anyone that people could not own firearms, that the government [01:01.040 --> 01:07.600] had the authority to say you can't have a firearm because firearms were absolutely essential [01:07.600 --> 01:12.320] part of survival at the time, not just for man-to-man sort of conflicts, criminals, brigands [01:12.320 --> 01:14.520] on the road and so forth, but hunting. [01:14.520 --> 01:20.920] You had to have a firearm if you were going to live successfully in that era. [01:20.920 --> 01:28.000] With that said, that ideal that I just spoke of did not apply to the vast majority of black [01:28.000 --> 01:29.920] people on the North American continent. [01:29.920 --> 01:35.060] I have to say something that's pretty ugly right here and now, but it's important to [01:35.060 --> 01:39.560] lay the historical foundation when we're going to talk about something like the Second Amendment, [01:39.560 --> 01:41.560] the right to keep and bear arms. [01:41.560 --> 01:47.240] In the minds of the vast majority of the white population in what was prior to the Revolution [01:47.240 --> 01:51.040] the Thirteen Colonies and after the Revolution the Thirteen Independent Nations and then [01:51.040 --> 01:52.760] eventually the States of the Union. [01:52.760 --> 01:58.680] Okay, so all those white people, the vast majority of them, did not consider people [01:58.680 --> 02:05.520] with black skin to be human beings in the same sense that a white person saw themselves [02:05.520 --> 02:06.520] as a human being. [02:06.520 --> 02:08.120] Now, that's really ugly. [02:08.120 --> 02:13.480] I find that incredibly revolting, but it is a historic truth, so we have to make sure [02:13.480 --> 02:17.640] that we acknowledge that as we move forward so that we understand when we're talking about [02:17.640 --> 02:21.280] development of certain things within that timeframe, we need to understand the mindset [02:21.280 --> 02:27.000] of the people who lived at that time, at that place, and the players in all of this. [02:27.000 --> 02:31.080] When the Thirteen Colonies pronounced their independence from the King of England, they [02:31.080 --> 02:37.440] became at that moment 13 independent nations. [02:37.440 --> 02:42.160] It's hard for us to think about it like that today as I sit here talking to you in 2021 [02:42.160 --> 02:45.360] because that's like Roman history. [02:45.360 --> 02:46.560] That's ancient stuff. [02:46.560 --> 02:51.920] We don't even think about stuff like that, but that was the mindset of the people who [02:51.920 --> 02:58.540] lived at the time, so a citizen of Massachusetts, after Massachusetts had announced it was no [02:58.540 --> 03:04.560] longer part of the British Empire, the citizens of Massachusetts didn't consider themselves [03:04.560 --> 03:06.800] citizens of the United States. [03:06.800 --> 03:09.040] They didn't consider themselves Americans. [03:09.040 --> 03:13.920] They considered themselves solely citizens of the state of Massachusetts, and not only [03:13.920 --> 03:18.440] did the average person who lived in Massachusetts consider themselves as such, the leadership [03:18.440 --> 03:20.520] considered themselves as such as well. [03:20.520 --> 03:27.240] They had the nation of Massachusetts, the nation of Georgia, the nation of New York. [03:27.240 --> 03:31.880] None of them considered that they were one congregated mass as a nation. [03:31.880 --> 03:32.880] No one thought of that. [03:32.880 --> 03:35.880] They were all independent nations. [03:35.880 --> 03:38.520] That had some consequences in their minds. [03:38.760 --> 03:43.120] Virtually every white person living in the 13 colonies that then became the 13 independent [03:43.120 --> 03:48.080] nations had lots of family living in Europe, and they were very, very knowledgeable about [03:48.080 --> 03:50.280] European history. [03:50.280 --> 03:52.000] What was the history of Europe? [03:52.000 --> 03:55.880] It wouldn't be far off if you just wanted to say, as far as a big picture statement [03:55.880 --> 04:00.760] concerning Europe, it was a bunch of neighboring states killing each other constantly for thousands [04:00.760 --> 04:01.760] of years. [04:01.760 --> 04:04.400] That is what they did in Europe. [04:05.040 --> 04:09.840] created armies, had conflicts with other neighboring states, marched in or got marched upon, and [04:09.840 --> 04:10.840] got killed. [04:10.840 --> 04:14.480] I mean, that is pretty much the story of Europe. [04:14.480 --> 04:18.640] That's what the colonists, and then the citizens of the 13 independent states after they declared [04:18.640 --> 04:26.080] their independence, that's what they understood happened when you had independent nations [04:26.080 --> 04:31.160] that shared lots of common borders like the 13 independent states. [04:31.160 --> 04:33.760] They had that concern as independent nations. [04:33.760 --> 04:37.360] I know I keep using that phrase, but it's really important to understand their mindset. [04:37.360 --> 04:41.160] I'm repeating it to you so it can get into your noggin. [04:41.160 --> 04:42.760] Independent nations. [04:42.760 --> 04:47.560] These 13 independent nations that shared a lot of common border, they were concerned [04:47.560 --> 04:51.480] that they were going to end up exactly like Europe had ended up for thousands of years [04:51.480 --> 04:54.880] with these cross-border wars constantly. [04:54.880 --> 04:58.040] They hoped that wasn't going to happen, and they took some steps to try and make sure [04:58.040 --> 05:03.120] that wouldn't happen, but that was foremost in their mind, especially when we're discussing [05:04.120 --> 05:06.040] militia. [05:06.040 --> 05:11.400] Imagine that you were one of the top movers and shakers in, say, Virginia, which after [05:11.400 --> 05:17.600] the declaration of independence was now an independent nation, and you look to the nations [05:17.600 --> 05:20.920] to the north of you, and you look to the nations to the south of you. [05:20.920 --> 05:26.720] You thought to yourself, what if we end up in an armed conflict with them? [05:26.720 --> 05:32.920] We need to be able to defend the nation of Virginia, which is how they thought of themselves. [05:33.120 --> 05:39.000] So militia was considered absolutely essential for the defense of the nation. [05:39.000 --> 05:44.320] It was as opposed to a standing army, which they could not afford. [05:44.320 --> 05:50.800] The militia was this each independent nation's way of defending themselves if this grand [05:50.800 --> 05:56.500] project to create some sort of union failed and all of these independent nations went [05:56.500 --> 05:57.880] to war with one another. [05:57.880 --> 06:02.880] They needed to have some structure of military presence, and that is what today we look [06:02.920 --> 06:05.520] back on and call militia. [06:05.520 --> 06:10.840] The states of the union declared their independence from King George III in 1776, but the first [06:10.840 --> 06:15.760] experiment with some sort of a union under the Articles of Confederation wasn't ratified [06:15.760 --> 06:18.520] until 1781. [06:18.520 --> 06:22.120] Now for all of those years, they were actually at war with Great Britain. [06:22.120 --> 06:27.640] So as you can imagine, their primary focus was on defeating the king. [06:27.640 --> 06:33.720] However, virtually all of the leaders of those colonies, now turned independent nations, [06:33.720 --> 06:37.740] were thinking ahead, what happens when this is over? [06:37.740 --> 06:41.800] Am I going to have a military problem with the state to my north, to the state to my [06:41.800 --> 06:44.800] west, to the state to my south, and so forth? [06:44.800 --> 06:49.040] That was a big part of their concern because of their frame of reference, all of the white [06:49.040 --> 06:52.780] citizens at some point or other, their families coming over here from Europe and being very [06:52.780 --> 06:54.680] well versed in European history. [06:54.680 --> 06:58.960] That was on their mind quite a bit as they looked ahead. [06:58.960 --> 07:04.720] As it turned out, the Articles of Confederation were considered insufficient to the task. [07:04.720 --> 07:10.920] In other words, a lot of those concerns didn't get resolved by the Articles of Confederation. [07:10.920 --> 07:14.600] As the representatives of the state went to the Constitutional Convention to discuss what [07:14.600 --> 07:20.200] we now know as the U.S. Constitution about framing that out, they still had those concerns [07:20.760 --> 07:22.960] This is a grand experiment. [07:22.960 --> 07:25.080] What if it doesn't work? [07:25.080 --> 07:29.260] The Articles of Confederation were already found wanting, insufficient for the purpose. [07:29.260 --> 07:33.640] They were thinking, yeah, if this doesn't work out, what if we go down that road where [07:33.640 --> 07:37.060] we're going to be like Europe, constantly marching armies across the border to attack [07:37.060 --> 07:40.580] the other independent nations? [07:40.580 --> 07:44.840] Going all the way into the Constitutional Convention, these states still had the mindset [07:44.840 --> 07:51.400] that they needed to have their own independent national military presence, the militia. [07:51.400 --> 07:57.240] The Second Amendment does not grant anyone anything. [07:57.240 --> 08:01.360] Okay, well, it kind of sort of does after the 14th Amendment. [08:01.360 --> 08:04.480] I'm going to talk about that in a minute, so stay with me and I'll cover that. [08:04.480 --> 08:13.880] However, at the time it was ratified, the Second Amendment did not grant anyone anything. [08:13.920 --> 08:20.560] All it did was it barred the federal government from what the states feared, which is the [08:20.560 --> 08:25.800] federal government would take a standing army and march into these independent nations that [08:25.800 --> 08:29.520] still had question marks about whether this whole damn thing was going to work, march [08:29.520 --> 08:33.400] in and enforce an end to the state's militia. [08:33.400 --> 08:36.360] So the states wanted to make sure that the federal government knew in the form of the [08:36.360 --> 08:40.880] Second Amendment, ah, that is not an authority we are giving you. [08:40.880 --> 08:46.040] We retained the authority to have a militia even after we've created you, the federal [08:46.040 --> 08:51.360] government, and we want you to know there's nothing you can constitutionally do about [08:51.360 --> 08:52.520] our militia. [08:52.520 --> 08:55.200] That's all the Second Amendment was intended to do. [08:55.200 --> 08:59.640] It was an expression that the states weren't confident this was all going to work out. [08:59.640 --> 09:06.540] I should also mention in passing, if a state's constitution doesn't say otherwise, states [09:06.540 --> 09:08.320] are free to get rid of their militia. [09:08.520 --> 09:12.320] I know it's going to anger a lot of people, but unless the constitution of that state [09:12.320 --> 09:16.680] says that the militia is something that the government must maintain, then the states [09:16.680 --> 09:20.880] can get rid of their militias and there's nothing about the Second Amendment that blocks [09:20.880 --> 09:26.400] that because the Second Amendment is a prohibition on the federal government, not on your state [09:26.400 --> 09:27.400] government. [09:27.400 --> 09:32.000] I'm going to talk about the slavery angle if there is one here in a moment, but as you [09:32.000 --> 09:36.360] can see, the interests of the movers and shakers in the thirteen independent nations had absolutely [09:36.360 --> 09:41.760] nothing to do with slavery, at least not when they were dealing with the formation [09:41.760 --> 09:43.460] of a union. [09:43.460 --> 09:47.820] We talk about the Second Amendment, none of that had anything to do with slavery. [09:47.820 --> 09:54.800] That was about them being able to defend their nation from the other twelve nations. [09:54.800 --> 10:00.760] My Day Slave State have used its militia to put down a slave uprising. [10:00.760 --> 10:04.240] That's pretty much the claim of those in the black community who want us to believe the [10:04.240 --> 10:06.180] Second Amendment is all about slavery. [10:06.180 --> 10:10.700] The other thing is the militia only existed to put down slave insurrections, which as [10:10.700 --> 10:13.020] we've covered here, no, that's not true. [10:13.020 --> 10:17.780] Could a state, a slave state, use the militia to put down a slave revolt? [10:17.780 --> 10:18.780] Sure. [10:18.780 --> 10:20.300] I have a car in the garage. [10:20.300 --> 10:24.660] I can use that car at three o'clock in the morning if there's a medical emergency to [10:24.660 --> 10:31.540] take someone to the emergency room, but I don't own the car for that purpose. [10:31.540 --> 10:38.180] The fact that something can be used for X does not mean it exists for that reason. [10:38.180 --> 10:40.620] That's certainly the case with the Second Amendment. [10:40.620 --> 10:46.820] I said a moment ago that the Second Amendment didn't grant anybody anything until after [10:46.820 --> 10:47.820] the Fourteenth Amendment. [10:47.820 --> 10:53.900] In fact, well after the Fourteenth Amendment, but within the light of the Fourteenth Amendment. [10:53.900 --> 10:58.540] I really wish there were a lot more people in the black community in the United States [10:58.540 --> 11:00.940] who understood the Fourteenth Amendment. [11:00.940 --> 11:07.100] Those people who I guess are considered spokesmen for blacks in America and so forth, even [11:07.100 --> 11:12.540] if they're only self-promoted spokesmen, they're not telling their own community what [11:12.540 --> 11:14.720] I'm about to share with you here. [11:14.720 --> 11:17.260] This is, I think, such a critical part of history. [11:17.260 --> 11:25.460] I think it's a real shame that the people upon who it influences even to this day are [11:25.460 --> 11:27.340] unaware of it. [11:27.340 --> 11:32.220] At the end of the Civil War, the southern states had been defeated. [11:32.220 --> 11:34.460] They were under military occupation. [11:34.460 --> 11:38.220] They were no longer considered states of the Union. [11:38.220 --> 11:43.780] And yet, there were black people who were born there and the constitutions of those [11:43.780 --> 11:47.820] states did not make them citizens. [11:47.820 --> 11:54.420] And the constitution of the United States did not make anybody citizens at that time. [11:54.580 --> 11:59.500] was derived 100% from your birth upon the land in the State of the Union. [11:59.500 --> 12:04.420] So in other words, if you were a citizen of the state of Alabama, you were called euphemistically [12:04.420 --> 12:05.660] a U.S. citizen. [12:05.660 --> 12:11.280] If you were born in Maine, you were euphemistically called a U.S. citizen, and that's discussed [12:11.280 --> 12:13.700] in the infamous Dred Scott case. [12:13.700 --> 12:18.300] By the way, anybody who's not actually read the decision written by Tanny in Dred should. [12:18.300 --> 12:19.300] Is it a moral abomination? [12:19.300 --> 12:20.300] It is. [12:20.300 --> 12:21.300] Is it legally factual? [12:21.700 --> 12:26.860] Spot on, one of the most legally factual, historically factual decisions ever put forth [12:26.860 --> 12:28.300] by the United States Supreme Court. [12:28.300 --> 12:31.860] So I encourage you to read Dred if you haven't done so already. [12:31.860 --> 12:37.020] So Dred established that the term citizen of the United States is used in the opening [12:37.020 --> 12:41.500] part of the constitution was a euphemism for people born in the states of the Union. [12:41.500 --> 12:46.600] So your citizenship came from that birth upon the land of the State of the Union, yet the [12:46.600 --> 12:53.640] freed black slaves, those constitutions of those states didn't grant them citizenship. [12:53.640 --> 12:57.360] So Congress needed a solution, and the solution was the 14th Amendment. [12:57.360 --> 13:01.800] What the 14th Amendment did is it created another second class of citizen. [13:01.800 --> 13:10.200] And yes, second on the timeline, it is also a distant second as far as the rights that [13:10.200 --> 13:12.400] a 14th Amendment citizen has. [13:12.400 --> 13:18.120] If you'd like to see the sum total of rights before the Supreme Court began the incorporation [13:18.120 --> 13:22.400] doctrine, made it up out of whole cloth, by the way, and just started doing it. [13:22.400 --> 13:28.120] But if you want to go back pre-incorporation doctrine and look at the very limited rights [13:28.120 --> 13:35.920] a 14th Amendment citizen has, go to 42 USC section 1981 and read, I think it's six. [13:35.920 --> 13:41.640] There are six rights the 14th Amendment citizens have that are protected by Congress. [13:41.640 --> 13:42.640] That's it. [13:42.640 --> 13:43.640] Six. [13:43.640 --> 13:46.600] And so, who is covered by the 14th Amendment? [13:46.600 --> 13:51.240] Well, according again to the United States Supreme Court, not me. [13:51.240 --> 13:56.920] Any black person who was brought to the United States for the purpose of slavery and held [13:56.920 --> 14:04.960] in slavery and then freed after the Civil War and all of their posterity to this very [14:04.960 --> 14:11.400] moment as I'm talking to you are all 14th Amendment citizens. [14:11.400 --> 14:15.760] Their primary form of citizenship is federal. [14:15.760 --> 14:17.380] They are citizens of Congress. [14:17.380 --> 14:21.520] They are citizens of Washington, D.C., if you want to phrase it that way. [14:21.520 --> 14:24.120] That is their primary citizenship. [14:24.120 --> 14:29.040] White people born pre-Civil War, during the Civil War, after the Civil War, they have [14:29.040 --> 14:30.840] what's called du jour citizenship. [14:30.840 --> 14:34.720] Now, I know a lot of people are listening to this, go, this guy's out of his mind. [14:34.720 --> 14:37.860] You know, I always say, do not believe me. [14:38.740 --> 14:44.300] You will find out this is 100% factually, legally, constitutionally accurate, and every [14:44.300 --> 14:48.700] single justice sitting on the Supreme Court for the last 150 years has known it. [14:48.700 --> 14:50.940] So we need to take stock of that. [14:50.940 --> 14:54.700] Now that we understand what the 14th Amendment did, and the incorporation doctrine is where [14:54.700 --> 15:01.980] the court came along and said, okay, so if we go to 42 USC, 1981, we don't find that [15:01.980 --> 15:05.620] you have the right to be secure in your papers, persons, and property. [15:05.620 --> 15:12.940] So we're going to say that the Fourth Amendment that secures you in those things, we're going [15:12.940 --> 15:17.980] to say the Fourth Amendment, we're going to pronounce it, that it now is a right held [15:17.980 --> 15:20.660] by 14th Amendment citizens. [15:20.660 --> 15:24.460] The Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, okay, different set of case, different set of facts, [15:24.460 --> 15:25.460] different set of people. [15:25.460 --> 15:30.500] Okay, so now we're going to say that the Fifth Amendment is now, what you see in the Fifth [15:30.500 --> 15:35.080] Amendment, which is actually originally just a bar on the government screwing with, honestly, [15:35.120 --> 15:41.240] to be factual, white citizens, okay, now we're going to say that that's no longer just a [15:41.240 --> 15:44.800] prohibition against these other white folks, we're going to say it is now, we're going [15:44.800 --> 15:49.520] to inculcate it as rights for 14th Amendment citizens. [15:49.520 --> 15:55.360] That is the incorporation doctrine, again, do not believe me, look it up. [15:55.360 --> 16:01.080] As far as the Second Amendment is concerned, it had never been incorporated by the Supreme [16:01.080 --> 16:06.360] into the rights held by 14th Amendment citizens until Heller and McDonald, which is what, [16:06.360 --> 16:08.240] 2008 if I remember correctly? [16:08.240 --> 16:17.920] Okay, so from the time the 14th Amendment was ratified, so was that 1866 or 67, okay, [16:17.920 --> 16:23.080] all the way to 2008, 14th Amendment citizens had no right to keep their arms. [16:23.080 --> 16:30.120] It was the Heller decision that said outside the states of the union, yeah, 14th Amendment [16:30.520 --> 16:34.680] citizens now are given, we are telling you now, they have Second Amendment right, where [16:34.680 --> 16:38.320] they have the right to keep and bear arms, and then McDonald said within a state of the [16:38.320 --> 16:45.600] union, 14th Amendment citizens do have a right to keep and bear arms, okay, so that's how [16:45.600 --> 16:51.640] this all came about, and I find it to be a travesty, right, because I believe that all [16:51.640 --> 16:56.440] human beings have unalienable rights, the complete set from the moment they're born, [16:56.440 --> 17:02.680] it is a part of our natural being, now, mind you, this is a matter of principle, a matter [17:02.680 --> 17:07.200] of belief, and you don't get to have unalienable rights unless you want to fight for them, [17:07.200 --> 17:11.640] and sometimes that includes, as they did in the Revolutionary War, that includes killing [17:11.640 --> 17:16.600] people who say, no, you don't have any unalienable rights, so, you know, I don't care how much [17:16.600 --> 17:22.480] melanin you have in your skin, what nation you were born in, your ancestors, when you're [17:23.120 --> 17:28.440] born here in the United States, you have unalienable rights, so the fact that these 14th Amendments [17:28.440 --> 17:32.920] says, man, what a raw deal they were given, but honestly, when the 14th Amendment was [17:32.920 --> 17:38.920] passed, probably 99% of the population of the United States, the white part, 99% of [17:38.920 --> 17:43.680] the white population of the United States felt that blacks were not equal, so the 14th [17:43.680 --> 17:47.680] Amendment wasn't ever designed to make them equal, it was just designed to give them some [17:47.680 --> 17:54.600] bare bones fundamental rights. God, what a travesty. So, with that crazy rant out of [17:54.600 --> 18:01.320] the way, back to the Second Amendment and slavery. Okay, I get that there's this movement [18:01.320 --> 18:06.100] afoot now with certain people, certain segment of the black community to try and cast virtually [18:06.100 --> 18:11.360] everything about US history in terms of slavery. I mean, I get it. They didn't have a voice [18:11.360 --> 18:17.200] for a long time, now they feel they do have a voice, and so they're voicing whatever [18:17.200 --> 18:20.940] they want to voice, and in this case, it happens to be utterly ridiculous. The Second [18:20.940 --> 18:25.760] Amendment, the right to keep and bear arms, had absolutely nothing to do with slavery. [18:25.760 --> 18:29.960] Could a militia be used to put down a slave insurrection? It could, but that had nothing [18:29.960 --> 18:36.120] to do with the existence of the militia, and it had absolutely nothing to do with why the [18:36.120 --> 18:41.240] states wanted the Second Amendment placed within the Constitution in the Bill of Rights. [18:41.240 --> 18:48.360] You may have heard some things in this presentation you have never heard before, right? And they're [18:48.360 --> 18:52.420] all factual. And again, do not believe me. I always tell people, please don't believe [18:52.420 --> 18:55.880] me because if I ask you to believe me, then what you're going to do is you're going to [18:55.880 --> 19:00.260] say, that guy's a nutcase. But if I say, don't believe me, go look it up, and you go look [19:00.260 --> 19:06.600] it up, you're going to say, wow, I thought Champion was a nutball, and it turns out every [19:06.600 --> 19:11.000] word out of his mouth was absolutely factually accurate. So, I want to give you a couple [19:11.000 --> 19:17.920] resources that you can go to to get a whole bunch of really fascinating, intriguing facts. [19:17.920 --> 19:24.120] Go to DrReality.News and grab yourself a copy of Income Tax Shattering the Myths, grab yourself [19:24.120 --> 19:28.120] a copy of Body Science, there's a couple of other things there. They will be, you have [19:28.120 --> 19:34.360] my word, they will be the most fascinating books you have ever read in your life. And [19:34.360 --> 19:40.100] you will find out truths, such as I shared with you here today, that the establishment [19:40.140 --> 19:44.780] has kept hidden because it is disadvantageous to the agenda of the establishment. Now, I [19:44.780 --> 19:48.220] don't know where you come from, but my thing is, if the establishment is trying to suppress [19:48.220 --> 19:51.580] something, trying to keep us from knowing it, yeah, it's probably something we really, [19:51.580 --> 19:54.940] really, really want to know. In Income Tax Shattering the Myths and Body Science, you [19:54.940 --> 20:01.500] will find out exactly what they've been suppressing, what they've been trying to keep you from [20:01.500 --> 20:03.940] being aware of, and why.
