The gun control movement in the U.S. sprouted from Roger B. the U.S. Supreme Court, the racist chief justice of the U.S. and author of the Dred Scott decision of 1857. Dred Scott was a slave who sued for his freedom. The case went to Taney. Chief Justice the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against Scott, saying that a slave was not a citizen and therefore of no standing in court. The decision by the U.S. Supreme Court was eventually carried over into the context of the Second Amendment due to the racial paranoia about black men with guns. This paranoia resulted in restrictions being placed on gun ownership.
