The 2nd Amendment is from 1791, decades after the US had become an independent country. So you can't blame this one on the British.

As an Irish person, I say it's ok to blame whatever you want on the Brits.

1791 - 1783 = 8.

They declared independence quite some time before that. And your maths does not disprove my point in any way either way. The 2nd amendment does not have anything to do with the British. I know it must be a hard burden, but Americans must take full responsibility for the 2nd amendenment.

I don't think they blamed the British. They just explained their theory as to why the colonists could take control.

As with most problems in the world (prove me wrong), it can be traced back to British colonialism.

I don’t think they blamed the British.

You may not think so, but your reading skills leaves something to be desired.
