...why were so many of the US Founding Fathers also Freemasons? If they were, why did they put the 2nd Amendment into the Constitution, among other things? I want to be able to explain this to some friends and family, but oddly enough I trust what fellow Anons say more than I trust various "sources" and their opinions. Thanks for your insights.

Following… my grandfather was a Mason. He was well loved by his family and the community, he was fair to his employees, a wonderful role model for me and was a very good husband to my grandmother. Married well over 50 years.
I can not wrap my head around him being a part of anything slightly below board. Very curious as to any arguments to help me understand.
Could it be that they were “good at one time”?
Yes. That is the answer. There are writings indicating profound differences between American (North American) Freemasonry and European Freemasonry at the time. But over time the institutions have become infiltrated. And just like our government, the corruption infiltrates until it gets to the top, from where the corruption can be protected and expanded.
Your grandfather may have been a lower level member. They test the members to see who is corruptible. Only those who can be compromised are allowed to move up to the highest levels, such as 32, 33 degree Freemason. The ones who appear to be unwilling to defile their conscience will be kept within the lower ranks and perform good works to maintain a "good image" for the organization within their communities, as KimJung-Un describes below.
Some of the girls I went to school with belonged to Job's daughters, which is Freemasonry for girls. They certainly would not have thought they were part of a satanic group. Like I said, you find out if/when you get to the higher levels.
When they were the Crusaders, long before they became the Templars, but even then they were rumored to be mostly Homo due to the Oath of NO WOMEN, and not so much Celibacy.....
