"The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
What part of no infringement do people not understand!! This was not written so that we could hunt, but so that we could protect ourselves from an inevitably evil/corrupt government. Guns are our last defense against a corrupt government, and since this government has now crossed the line over into a dictatorship, we need them now more than ever. Gun control is not about stopping violence it's about control. I can understand the skepticism of guns by some, but guns don't kill people, people kill people!!! Blaming guns for violence is like blaming matches for arson. We don't have a gun problem, we have a morality problem. Maybe it's time to question what we are teaching our kids? When you teach your kids that they are nothing but apes, why are you surprised that they act like one? You threw out God from schools, and now you wonder why the school environment is totally spiraling downward? Either way, I don't need the constitution to arm and defend myself, it's my natural born right, and I will arm myself by the same measure of this government and law enforcement. Any attempt to strip me from my natural born, God given freedoms is an act of war and will be met with accordingly.
Apparently people need to be reminded that several societies have tried gun control.
Turkey, for example, in 1911, established gun control, and shortly after 1.5 million Armenians were rounded up and exterminated, unable to defend themselves.
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control and for more than a decade later approximately 20 million dissidents were exterminated, unable to defend themselves.
Germany established gun control in 1938, and shortly after approximately 13 millions Jews were exterminated, unable to defend themselves.
China established gun control in 1935, and from 1948 to 1952 approximately 20 million dissidents were exterminated, unable to defend themselves.
Guatemala established gun control in 1964, and for the next 18 years 100,000 Maya Indians were exterminated, unable to defend themselves.
Uganda established gun control in 1970, and for the next 9 years 300k Christians were exterminated, unable to defend themselves.
Cambodia established gun control in 1956, and from 1975 to 1977 approximately one million 'educated' people were rounded up and exterminated, unable to defend themselves. Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th century alone because of gun control = 56 million.
So the next time you hear someone talking about gun control, ask them who they are trying to exterminate.
Democide, the murder of someone by government, is 20x higher than the total of gun deaths, six times higher than those who have died from war, in the last century, and totals roughly 262 million.
Even if someone has a mental condition or a criminal record, they still have the right to defend themselves by the same measures used by authorities, otherwise you're essentially only able to bring a knife to a gun fight. We have to draw the line somewhere. If we let them establish the line, the line will eventually be the removal of all guns except the ones they hold. An unarmed citizen is not a citizen he is a subject.
