A LITTLE GUN HISTORY
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, a total of 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, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.
The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson:
With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'.
During WW II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew the American People were ARMED TO THE TEETH!
The purpose of fighting is to win - there is no possible victory in defense.
The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either; the final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.
INALIENABLE FACT OF HISTORY: THOSE WHO HAVE THE GUNS MAKE THE RULES

As a great grandfather I carry a 1911 because my love ones can't/won't.
ReplyDelete'Sides a cop is too heavy.
"Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated."
ReplyDeleteYou imply one came of the other? What a load of bullocks. The German army destroyed the armies of Europe in a few years, so even if the Jews had their private weapons then it's wouldn't have helped them a lot. Compare: 20 fat jewish bankers and their sons with pockets guns vs a squad of Sturm Grenadiere carring MP's, explosives and some LMG's). No need for deathcamps then.
Scrap the whole article, write: I carry guns because everybody else does.
Eisenhower said the actions of the underground guerrillas of the Nazi occupied territories were the equivalent of 100 divisions. These partisans were generally armed with small arms - some belt-fed weapons in there, but they had no tanks, airplanes or artillery, and yet they tied down an enormous amount of Wehrmacht manpower and did vital sabotage missions.
ReplyDeleteInterestingly enough, within the borders of Germany itself, there was no resistance movement.
I stand by what I posted here.
