The meme that the 2nd Amendment is a means of defense against a tyrannical government was written by Wayne LaPierre and published by the National Rifle Association in the late 1970’s.
The Ludlow Massacre proved that meme was nonsens.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1914, the National Guard & company militia opened fire on striking coal miners and then torched their camp. Over 100 were killed in the #LudlowMassacre, including women and children. Take away strong unions and/or regulations and capitalism will kill you.
April 20, 1914 - Troops from the Colorado state militia attacked strikers, killing 25 (half women and children), at Ludlow.

Monument in Ludlow, Colorado honoring children, women and men slaughtered by the mine owners when they fought for their rights
Take some time to learn the history of our citizens who’ve fought for their basic human rights, and been murdered at worst, and slandered at “best.” Turn off the propaganda. Read. Engage with your community. #ludlowmassacre #colorado #umwa en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludlow_...
