On this day, February 27th, 1973, the Wounded Knee Occupation began. About 200 Native American activists seized control of Wounded Knee, South Dakota. It went on for 71 days and wouldn't have been possible if access to weapons had been restricted. Politics aside, the 2nd amendment allows us to be armed and ready for anything. It allows us to take a stand against any governing bodies, at any level, and let our voice be heard.
