Gun Control

Are you considering backing gun control laws? Do you think that because you may not own a gun, the rights guaranteed by the Second Amendment don't matter?

CONSIDER:

  • In 1929 the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, approximately 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

  • In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915-1917, 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 gypsies 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.

    That places total victims who lost their lives because of gun control at approximately 56 million in the last century.

    Since we should learn from the mistakes of history, the next time someone talks in favor of gun control, find out which group of citizens they wish to have exterminated. It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed, a program costing the government more than $500 million dollars. The results Australia-wide; Homicides are up 3.2%. Assaults are up 8%. Armed robberies are up 44%. In that countries' state of Victoria, homicides with firearms are up 300%. Over the previous 25 years. Australian politicians are on the spot and at a loss to explain how no improvement in "safety" has been observed after such monumental effort and expense was successfully expended in "ridding society of guns." It's time to state it plainly; Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws only affect the law-abiding citizens. Take action before it's too late. – Paul Harvey on Guns

    On another note, This past week, daytime TV talk host Rosie O'Donnell (a radical gun control advocate) got upset at the fact that reporters 'informed the world' that her security guards were unarmed. She implied that such placed her family in greater danger. The Lord dealt with this type of logic in Matthew 23:4, “For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.” I guess she knows that if criminals believe there is a high probability that someone is unarmed, they will be more inclined to strike! This is why gun control in a free country gets people killed. Wouldn’t it be nice if Ms. O'Donnell would get "upset" with her fellow gun control advocates for trying to pass laws that would, by their very nature, "inform the world" that every American is a sitting duck. Remember what the word of God said in Luke 22:36, “Then said he unto them, …. he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.”
