4/ As an example, Alabama's 1837 law was entitled "An act to suppress the evil practice of carrying weapons secretly.” Early America was full of laws allowing government to regulate guns in public. It was viewed as a perfectly constitutional exercise of government authority. — PolitiTweet.org

3/ And it's not like independence from Britain - or the adoption of the 2nd Amendment - changed anything. In the late 1700s, North Carolina and Virginia passed laws restricting carrying guns in public. In the 1800s, 38 more states joined the list. — PolitiTweet.org

5/ So this idea that the 2nd Amendment prohibits these laws is a completely modern fabrication. The people who wrote and approved the Bill of Rights were often the same who supported laws controlling the public carrying of weapons. That's the truth. — PolitiTweet.org
