Original Note:
This tweet ignores historical context. From the Scott v Sandford decision written by Chief Justice Taney "would give them the full liberty... [to] keep and carry arms wherever they went". The right to bear arms was clearly recognized as early as the 1850s. https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/dred-scott-v-sandford
