Lexington and concord, America’s first gun grab
Lexington and concord, America’s first gun grab.........and we all know how that turned out
We kill off over a MILLION pre-schoolers every year in this country; and very seldom is a shot fired to stop it!
If I remember correctly, weren’t the Brits outraged about American riflemen, and their penchant for picking off officers at 300 yards? They were pretty harsh with captured riflemen. The Pennsylvania rifle was the ‘Assault Weapon’ of the 18th century, but I don’t see them on the Ban List.
“[A] bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular, and what no just government should refuse.”
-— Thomas Jefferson December 20, 1787
Banning certain types of firearms because they didn’t exist in 1787 is no different than censoring the internet because it didn’t exist then.
I would love to use those gun control statistics at the end of this article. I wonder, however, if they are all totally legitimate. Does anyone know where he got them?
Yep, it actually happened and didn't end well for the King:
When the left advocated violent overthow of the government, they were big advocates of the right to bear arms. Now that they have taken control of the government by non-violent, Alinskyite, methods, they want to disarm us so that they don’t get violently overthrown.
Ayn Rand (that dispicable atheist :)) once wrote that liberals advcated no violence against armed foreigners, but unlimited violence against unarmed citizens.
The gun control issue isn’t guns - it’s the means of self-defense.
Reading about Shariah law, I noticed that Christians were not permitted to own weapons like spears and swords. The better to leave them at the mercy of criminals and oppressors.
The issue was control of the servile population, not “guns”.
Economic enslavement and a disarmed citizenry. Plunder & death, totalitarianism 2.0

Domestic totalitarians have already encroached too far. They are useless eaters.

American sailors had ships with cannons. Not enough of them to match the British, but they had to defend their ships crew and cargo from pirates.
“Can You Imagine King George III Telling Our Nation’s Founders They Couldn’t Have Muskets?”
He did.
That’s why our nation’s founders founded our nation.
