Well, since the whole thing was DOCUMENTED.. Yea, you pretty much can
actually read the discussions taking place.
But what you see to miss is that I don't have to show a compromise took
place... JONES DO.
That's HIS claim, and thus the burden of proof is on HIM.
So... where do I see proof of such a compromise... or are you going to
assert you know Jones was there?

No he didn't he simply asserted he got it.
I'm not finding the Amendment Jones claims was enacted to have "slavery
encoded as a right of the people."
But since you claim to be such a smart person, maybe you can point out where
that is in the first 10 Amendments.

Not my job to research Jones claims, but let's see if your cites actually
support his claims.

Sorry, I see here the author of the please CLAIMS that someone said
something but offers NO support that their claim is valid.
Then turns around and says that the 2nd would have applied to the slaves, if
ONLY those evil Democrats hadn't chosen to impose gun control to deny blacks
their Constitutional rights.
Hmmm. Gun control being used to deny us our rights... Democrats haven't
changed...

Repeat of basically the same story as above where someone CLAIMS something,
but offers no proof that it actually took place.

Another story in how Democrats sought to deny blacks and even freed blacks
there rights under the Constitution.
Sorry, I'm not seeing where the Constitution allows for the right of the
people to be VIOLATED based on the color of someone skin.
Maybe you can point out that language to me, and I will note that 150 years
later Democrats are STILL trying to deny people their 2nd Amendment rights.
Indeed aren't YOU a major advocate of gun control and denying people their
right to arms?
Does that make you a slave owner sympathizer?
> not that you'll actually read any of those links
I read them, and they offer lots of claims and utterly fail to prove any of
it... which is pretty typical of both Jones and you.
Both make claims they can't back up with facts, just conjecture, rhetoric,
and empty assertion.
Meanwhile I fail to know where even a hint of any 'compromise' that you two
imply occurred actually did.
> not that you'll actually read any of those links
Read them, understood them, and failed to find ANY supporting facts
presented to support the assertions made.
Heck, they even went so far as to attempt to assert that the Supreme Court
failed to research the language and meaning of the 2nd despite the rather
long writeup of exactly how the court did so, and even went so far as to
disprove the assertions of those who have invented their own interpretation
of the language. An interpretation I will not that NO honest researcher has
EVER been able to validate with facts.
The meaning and language simply do NOT support the notion that people like
you attempt to imply.
