"Owning slaves is just a part of our culture regardless of whether we want it to be or not."

And I know what you're thinking: "comparing owning guns to owning human beings is wrong". Yes, but saying that something is "our culture" and can't be changes is just plain silly. Especially when it comes to guns.

owning people was never part of the bill of rights

Gun ownership isn't in the constitution, it's an amendment.

However, the constitution does have the 3/5 clause which is 100% about slavery

[diogenes4]

Owning handguns ain't either.

Anyway, the constitution was written to specifically enable slavery, so your point is moot.

This was true for the confederate south.... Denying this doesn't seem to get us anywhere.

Anyway, my point was not that this can't be changed, that's what you brought to the conversation.
