Article the third..."Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech,...
As some of you are aware, I have, in the past been adamantly opposed to owning a gun or having one in my home. Yet, observing the direction our politics are moving toward and constant stripping away of our civil rights has caused me to reconsider my position over the past few years. For any who question this change, please read the following:
UNABLE TO DEFEND
In 1929 the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953 about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, 1 million 'educated' people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th century because of gun control- 56 MILLION!
The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, ask them, "Who do you want to round up and exterminate?"
With guns, we are citizens. Without them, we are subjects.
