It's now interesting to contrast Presser to the US Supreme Court's previous excursion into 2nd amendment law, US v. Cruikshank, in 1876. That case arose from the horrible Colfax massacre in Louisiana. https://t.co/90qZNZoyUf 12/x — PolitiTweet.org

2) that states had near-absolute authority to define who and what counted as a "militia" under the 2nd amendment. Presser's socialist group was a challenge to state authority, properly suppressed by state power. *THAT* part of Presser remains law even after McDonald. 11/x https://t.co/mo3dmCLd4t — PolitiTweet.org

The Reconstruction government of Louisiana had recruited black men into the legal state militia. In 1872, illegal white militias attacked a unit of the legal militia. The legal militia lost the fight and surrendered. The illegal white militia massacred the survivors. 13/x — PolitiTweet.org
