What Does History Teach Us About Gun Control?

Question

"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or native police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order throughout the occupied Russian territories, and a system of military strong-points must be evolved to cover the entire occupied country." 
 
--Adolf Hitler, 
(Dinner talk on April 11, 1942, quoted in Hitler's Table Talk 1941-44: His Private Conversations, Second Edition (1973), Pg. 425-426. Translated by Norman Cameron and R. H. Stevens. Introduced and with a new preface by H. R. Trevor-Roper. The original German papers were known as Bormann-Vermerke
 


Let's face it, the self-evident truth that a man, woman or child has a right to possess a weapon for self-defense should be obvious to everyone.  The United States of America won its independence to freedom because the population was armed.  Criminals that mis-use firearms for criminal activities do not obey laws.  To think laws against tougher gun control and regulation will reduce crime is absurd.  Actually, history does repeat itself and the most modern case of effective gun control that disarmed the citenzry and brought in fachism was none other than Adolf Hitler.  The links below will show you everything you need to know why disarming a population is never a good idea.

You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians
disseminating this information.

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes,
gun-control laws adversely affect only the  law-abiding citizens.

Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!

The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind
them of this history lesson.

With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'.  During
WW II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew
most Americans were ARMED!
