What if I'm black, but an established tax paying U.S. citizen. Does this idea that the founders wanted me to own an AR-15 still apply??

It is arguable. After all, Dred Scott maintained no Black person could not be a citizen... for reasons. So we might presume that some number of the Founding Fathers were thinking along those lines.

I'm willing to state that that's a fair assumption.

Seriously, was there any legal basis at all for RBT's contention? Seems to me he was ignoring acres of established law.
