An someone shorten this paragraph for me please, i put this for 20 points, but i'll make a free question for 50 points for y'all's help with this.

The right to bear arms was our second amendment right. I happen to remember that there is hardly anything to do with human rights in the first five amendments. The idea of "land of opportunity" and "equality" extended only to white men. And white women hardly had any rights during those days. In that time period, America was an anti-Semitic, racist nation. Including the Native Americans who were on the land before it was "discovered," many individuals were not treated equally. America hasn't been equal to everybody. For white men, it was a land of opportunity. It said "With freedom and justice for all" in 1892, when the pledge of allegiance was written, which was never and is currently not the case.

Answer:

The right to bear arms was our second amendment right. There’s hardly anything to do with human rights in the first five amendments. The idea of “land of opportunity” and “equality” was (and only is) true for straight, white, cis men, women hardly had any rights during those times. America was anti-Semitic and racist, frankly it still is. We owe major credit to the Natives and every other BIPOC, because they paved the way.
