You won’t see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this easily verifiable information.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.
I’m a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment. Do you truly appreciate the value of well armed, law abiding, God fearing citizens in a civil society?
Evil exists. Throughout history and forever into the future, evil will exist. Evil exists in the hearts of children, men and women, be they civilians or politicians, police or clergy.
If ever we disarm ourselves we will become dangerously vulnerable to a Godless, secular, power crazed government with unchecked powers, just as the 56 million who were murdered at the hands of “government officials” described above. We will cease to exist as the greatest nation in the history of man.
Never forget, there are many politicians, our current President included, that proudly proclaim their intent to weaken America’s stature and global influence. Fundamentally transforming the United States of America mandates the weakening of our inalienable 2nd Amendment rights. This is perhaps the most fundamental step for politicians seeking to achieve this goal.
I would no more trust Rahm Emanual, Michael Bloomberg, Barack Obama, Diane Feinstein, Hillary Clinton, Mitt Romney, George Bush or Eric Holder (God help us) to honestly safeguard my inalienable rights than I would have trusted similar narcissists that previously used lethal force against their fellow citizens.
Perhaps one of the most insightful, thought provoking, brilliant books ever written regarding the nature of man and the historical record of governments killing their citizens was written by Andy Andrews in his 2012 book, “How Do You Kill 11 Million People?”
With guns, we are ‘citizens‘. Without them, we are ‘subjects‘.
If you value our freedoms, please spread this message to all of your well intentioned, less informed friends.
Merry Christmas, America. Share the Love.
More people died in Teddy Kennedy’s Oldsmobile than have been killed by my guns.
(New tag-line.)
And more civilians from Obama’s targeted kill list than your guns as well.
Wow. This is awesome! I’m going to copy this and paste it to every liberal I see argue for grabbing our guns here in America from now on.
In Death By Government, I thought the numbers were higher. Much higher.
This is such an important point as it demonstrates very well that once a population is disarmed: the State loses all fear in holding back on repressing its people often to the point of total genocide. The ignorant anti gun folks retort that “it will not happen here” [ ! ] as if under some utopian delusion or normalcy bias - when all of history has shown that as soon as the population is disarmed - the government rips its mask off & goes to town on the population.
Thank you and more importantly, thanks to Andy Andrews for his great book. Our Founding Fathers were so brilliant and insightful. Our precious Cnstitution is truly a miracle from God.
Exactly! The liberal left likes to believe “their team” would never be evil, only seek “fairness” and “justice” and would never resort to brute force - or worse. Tell me agin which political party is most closely aligned with the violent union thugs from WI and MI. Amazing how our government aligns with The Occupy Movement, remains silent when Tea Party patriots are beaten by democrat supported SEIU goons and illegally arm known Mexican Cartel members. Yeah, they can be trusted.
Bravo. Absolutely couldn’t have said it more brilliantly or briefly!
