Larry King Calls For Repealing 2nd Amendment: It Was Written to Stop 'Slave Uprisings'

King has weighed in on former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens' assertion that student protesters should "demand a repeal of the Second Amendment."

"It's poorly written," King said of the amendment to TMZ. "What did they mean by 'militia'?"

"You know [the people] who signed the Second Amendment were southern senators so they could ward off slaves' uprisings," King added. "Read the history."

When the man behind the camera balks and asks King to briefly explain the history, he said: "Eventually it won in other areas but southern senators started it [for that reason]."
