A LITTLE “ANTI-GUN HISTORY” WORTH PONDERING?


(1.) In 1911, Turkey established gun control: From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

(2.) 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.

(3.) In 1935, China established gun control: From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

(4.) In 1938, Germany established gun control: From 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

(5.) In 1956, Cambodia established gun control: From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

(6.) In 1964, Guatemala established gun control: From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

(7.) In 1970, Uganda established gun control: From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

(8.) Overall, enabled by gun control, about 56 million defenseless people were rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century.

(9.) During WW II, the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!

(10.) Gun owners in the USA represent the largest armed forces in the World!

(11.) Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun control laws adversely affect only the law abiding citizens. Criminals and others hell-bent to do harm to others could care less about rules, laws, and gun-free zone signs!

(12.) With guns, we are “citizens”; without the freedom to own and bear arms, we are “subjects”.

(13.) But, nevertheless, as we embark on the Year 2020 in the good old USA, “establishing gun control” (which is of course code for “disarm law-abiding citizens”) continues to be an unrelenting aim of the radical-left and their socialist/communist counterparts. A life and liberty-threatening agenda sanctioned by a disturbing number of our so-called elected “servants of the people.” And enabled by widespread ignorance, apathy, complacency, denial, greed, and counterproductive fear within a likewise disturbing number of “we the people”—the so-called adults in the room.


Again, just “a little anti-gun history” likely worth pondering?
