In the urban industrial society of today a general right to bear arms so as to be able to resist oppression by the Government would mean that gangs could defeat the whole Bill of Rights."

Well, well, well...this would certainly explain the sudden inexplicable fascination with "gangs" by the MSM and some segments of our government lately.

A brand new "reason" to have gun control; since the others weren't working.

LOL! Liberals can't even disarm gangs in this country; it beggars the imagination to conceive how they will disarm every law-abiding citizen. They have a national gun registry in Canada but the compliance rate is abysmal. One can be imposed here only over the dead bodies of the American people.

I hadn't noticed this fixation on gangs, but it doesn't surprise me. That's been their modus operandi -- get the MSM bellowing about something, and then try to start a legislative push based on the manufactured hullabaloo.

By framing the gun debate as a choice between protecting liberty and the illusion of safety, the gun lobby has painted itself as a defender of basic American values. The actual debate, as the NRA and the facts conclusively prove is: "Liberty and safety (guns) vs. no liberty and no safety (gun confiscation)."
