America is in a very
dangerous frame of mind right now. We are all sad about the killings of
the 20 children at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticutt.
We want to find a way to keep tragedies like that from happening. In the
rush to try and stop those senseless acts of violence from reoccurring, we are
opening ourselves up to letting politicians who are really only concerned with
one thing...securing their power positions in government, by strengthening
government's control over our lives and weakening the citizen's powers to force
Government into a weaker, less controlling role in our lives.

The ideal of
controlling guns is as old as leaders realizing that if the people they are
trying to control do not have weapons at all or weapons that are inferior in
quality and quantity as the government has, that they can control the
people. That is how Hitler did it, how Tojo did it, and innumerable other
leaders in this world's history. It is a proven fact throughout history
that when the citizens private weapons were confiscated, the governments
eventually became despotic and abusive governments.
There is a misconception among the citizenry that our founders put the Second Amendment to the Constitution in place in order to give the citizens the ability to protect themselves from criminals, foreign enemies, hostile indians, and wild animals. While these are true statements, that is not the main reason that the Amendment was put in place; and the actual motivation for that Amendment being put in place is exactly what America is facing right now. Jefferson, Washington, Adams, and many of the other founders had, from their experiences witnessed what happened to an unarmed citizenry in Europe. They knew that the natural tendency of big government was to gradually and with absolute certainty, was to take away the citizens' freedoms and replace them with more autocratic, authoritarian, and evil forms of government. Our founders knew that the real reason the citizenry needed to be armed was to protect itself against a government stealing their freedoms and enslaving them under abusive, evil forms of government. Here is what many of them had to say about the need for the citizens to protect themselves against the Government:

"I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them."
George Mason Co-author of the Second Amendment during Virginia's Convention to Ratify the Constitution, 1788
"Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence … from the hour the Pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurrence's and tendencies prove that to ensure peace security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable … the very atmosphere of firearms anywhere restrains evil interference — they deserve a place of honor with all that's good."
George Washington First President of the United States
"The supposed quietude of a good man allures the ruffian; while on the other hand arms, like laws, discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as property. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside … Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them."
Thomas Paine

Our founders knew that
it is the natural evolution of big government to evolve into a Government of
tyranny and to try its best to disarm the citizenry, which would remove that
ultimate defender of individual freedoms, the armed citizen standing in opposition
to tyranny. That is exactly what our present Federal Government is
doing. They have maneuvered themselves into positions of power, and they
know that because of their ineptness, the only way they can maintain and grow
their power sphere is to take freedoms away from the citizens and place it into
their hands. If America is foolish enough to allow this to happen, then we have
set ourselves up to eventually be enslaved similar to what has happened
throughout Eastern Europe and to every nation where the people have been forced
to give up the means by which they can protect themselves and their property
from thieves, despots, and oppressive governments.

Now is the time to
stop these Washington despots from taking the power of self-protection away
from the citizens. First, they will define the type of gun the individual
should own, then after they have done that, they will make owners who have guns
with the wrong type of clip, the wrong physical look (assault weapons), or the
wrong caliber turn in those weapons, then they will get the individual pistols,
hunting rifles, shotguns. If you are foolish enough to believe this is not
their ultimate goal, then you are indeed, naive and have your head stuck in the
sand to avoid the truth.
