ARMS & THE COUNTER REFORMATION
Chris discusses some of the history of the Second Amendment and how it was established by Reformed Protestants in the aftermath of the great Reformation. The right to keep and bear arms as an Anglo-American right is said to have come about because of events such as the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre and other atrocities against Protestants.   Meanwhile, modern Catholic sources argue that the position of the Church of Rome is that arms should only be permitted among the military and the police.  Could the opposition to civilian firearms ownership have something to do with the Counter Reformation?
