Writer provokes thought on gun control
THE EDITOR,
A friend sent me this, not sure if it
is all true or not, it is something to
think about.
Aubrey Toll
Gun Control:
Something to think about ...
“In 1929, the Soviet Union
established gun control. From 1929
to 1953, about 20 million dissidents
unable to defend themselves, were
rounded up and exterminated.
“In 1911. Turkey established gun
control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5
million Armenians, unable to
defend themselves, were rounded up
and exterminated.
“Germany established gun control
in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, 13
million Jews and others who were
unable to defend themselves were
rounded up and exterminated.
“China established gun control in
1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million
political dissidents, unable to defend
themselves, were rounded up and
exterminated.
“Guatemala established gun
control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981,
100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to
defend themselves were rounded up
and exterminated.
“Uganda established gun control
in 1970. From 1971 to 1979,
300,000 Christians, unable to
defend themselves, were rounded up
and exterminated.
“Cambodia established gun
control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977,
one million educated people, unable
to defend themselves, were rounded
up and exterminated.”
Defenseless people rounded up
and exterminated in the 20th Century
because of gun control: 56 million.
The next time someone talks in
favour of gun control, ask them
“Who do YOU want to round up and
exterminate?”
With guns, we are citizens.
Without them, we are subjects.
"For the first time in history a
nation has'a complete system of gun
registration. Our streets will be
safer, our police more effective and
the world will follow our lead into
the future. ”
- Adolf Hitler 1936
“Those who give up essential
liberty for temporary safety deserve
neither. ”
- Ben Franklin
