Gabrielle Giffords and her Husband Aim Fire at NRA as They Launch New Gun Control Group
Two years ago today, then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was critically injured in Tucson when Jared Lee Loughner opened fire while she was meeting with constituents, killing six people. Since then “Congress has done something quite extraordinary—nothing at all,” write Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly write in a USA Today op-ed announcing the launch of Americans for Responsible Solutions. The group, a new political action committee that aims to decrease gun violence, “will raise the funds necessary to balance the influence of the gun lobby,” Giffords and Kelly write.

CITIZENS! HAND OVER YOUR WEAPONS! There is only one way to shorten and ease the convulsions of the old society and the bloody birth pangs of the new —revolutionary terror. Karl Marx
To overcome our enemies we must have our own socialist militarism. We must carry along with us 90 million out of the 100 million of Soviet Russia's population. As for the rest, we have nothing to say to them. They must be annihilated.
Grigory Zinoviev, head of the Communist International, 1918, purged and executed in 1936.
We know how socialism in Russia worked out: decades of terror, mass arrests, labor camps, intentional famines, atrocities and executions. Why did the populace not resist? It began this way, in 1918, and you'll note it was not a suggestion:
Citizens! Hand over your weapons!
CITIZENS! HAND OVER YOUR WEAPONS!
