"I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them." - George Mason

"No Free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." - Thomas Jefferson

"The right of the people to keep and bear...arms shall not be infringed. A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country..." - James Madison

"A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves...and include all men capable of bearing arms." - Richard Henry Lee

"What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty.... Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins." - Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts

"Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms." - James Madison

"Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American... The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state government, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people" - Tench Coxe

"The Constitution shall never be construed....to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms" - Samuel Adams

"The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed." - Alexander Hamilton

"What country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms." - Thomas Jefferson

There is a reason why people like that are always the first be be eaten by zombies in the movies.

In general that statement is not true. Only North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.

Black Soldiers and Sailors during the American Revolution
The uniform militia act of 1792 called for "white free men", that was at the federal level. There were plenty of states that had laws restricting blacks, including free blacks in the case of Maryland, from bearing arms.

Seriously, how would you go about subjugating a people if they have " inalienable rights". Their rights were anything but inalienable.

The Second Amendment is not about hunting, so you certainly don't "understnad" it at all.
