The Real Purpose of Gun Control
by Monte E. Rudd

Consider these "quotes":

"Our task of creating a Socialist America can only succeed when those who would resist us have been totally disarmed."
     -- Sarah Brady, Chairman, Handgun Control Inc.
        Source: The National Educator, January 1994, Pg.3

"We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans..."
     -- Bill Clinton, USA Today, 11 March 1993, pg. 2a

"Waiting periods are only a step. Registration is only a step. The prohibition of private firearms is the goal."
     -- Janet Reno

"History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subjected peoples to carry arms have prepared their own fall."
     --  Adolph Hitler, Edict of 18 March 1939

"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government."
     -- George Washington

"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
     -- Benjamin Franklin

"No free man shall ever be de-barred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain their right to keep and bear arms is as a last resort to protect themselves against the tyranny of government."
     -- Thomas Jefferson

It is obvious from the first 4 quotes that the "goal" is to turn our GREAT Republic, based on our Constitution and the freedoms it guarantees, into a "Socialist" (communist) state based on Tyrannical rule with no freedoms. But, in order to accomplish this goal they must first, using the guise of "safety for our citizens", DISARM the people.

Adolph Hitler's plans to "rule the world" included the invasion of the United States. The ONE GREATEST OBSTACLE to his invasion plan was that the people of the U.S. were "well armed".

The "right to keep and bear arms" is not soley intended to help us to be safe from crime in our homes. The 2nd Amendment was crafted, mainly, to prevent our own Government officials, and/or other persons, from using TYRANNY to govern us.

The question is: "which of these philosophies will you subscribe to?"
