The story behind that historical marker
The purpose of the 2nd Amendment to our Constitution has been on the front burner recently. I've heard a few people say that its true purpose is a moot point. Not so. One of the best examples of the fact that human nature and corruption occasionally gives birth to a tyrannical government lies at the site of an historical marker in McMinn County Tennessee. It was at this site that the 2nd Amendment's purpose shone on August 1, 1946.
