Gun Control.
Who is it for? The criminal or the law abiding citizen? If you take my guns away, the ones I use for target shooting, hunting, self defense or collect, are you going to take away the "bad guys" guns?
Are the bad guys going to just walk up and hand them over?
Or is this their mentality?
"Gun control? It's the best thing you can do for crooks and gangsters. I want you to have nothing. If I'm a bad guy, I'm always gonna have a gun. Safety locks? You'll pull the trigger with a lock on, and I'll pull the trigger. We'll see who wins." -- Sammy "The Bull" Gravano, Mafia hit man
I am guessing the bad guys love the thought of gun control. Then they have no fears about breaking into any home they would want to.
If you take away a citizen's right to defend themselves what do you have? You have a serf, a subject, a peon, someone dependent on the Government for all their needs and we know how well that works!
What we need is this;
"That rifle on the wall of the labourer's cottage or working class flat is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there." -- George Orwell, the author of Animal Farm and 1984, himself a socialist
To prevent this;
"A system of licensing and registration is the perfect device to deny gun ownership to the bourgeoisie." -- Vladimir Ilyich Lenin

Over the years many have used gun control to control the people;
Hitler;
"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 the 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." -- Adolf Hitler (H.R. Trevor-Roper, Hitler's Table Talks 1941-1944)

Germany established gun control1 in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

Stalin and the USSR;
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. By 1987 that figure had risen to 61,911,000.

China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952 10,076,000 political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated in Kuomintang China, and by 1987 another 35,236,000 exterminations were carried out under the Communists.

In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, without the means to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979 under General Idi Amin Dada, 300,000 Christians and political rivals of Amin2, unable to defend them­selves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Need I list more?
Because there are many more instances of "gun control" followed by mass murders. Darfur( 2 million unarmed victims), the UN "safe-zones" in Bosnia-Herzegovina (7000 unarmed Muslim men and boys murdered).
So I can see the results of citizens being unarmed. Can you?

The 2nd Amendment is there, to protect "We the People" from and oppressive government.
"We the People" are the government and it is by our will the people we elect govern. Today I feel to many are clueless to this fact and blindly believe the people they elect will do the right thing. So far that has been a mistaken belief. The only right thing these elected officials do are those that benefit their "beliefs" or the special interest groups that support them. We have a perfect case where I live, both our State Rep and State Senator are leftists and "teachers" and both vote party lines and vote for any tax that comes along. They pay particular attention to education funding and the teachers benefit packages and pensions.

So whom do we need to protect ourselves from? The government, those that want our guns we need to ask why?
I have heard of B Hussein Obama's desire to create a national "defense" force. Who will make this force up and what will exactly be their purpose? We have the National Guard, what else do we need? This Obama defense/security/whatever he calls it seems a bit odd to me. I have my thoughts on who would be part of this and those not actively contributing to society, but leaching off the taxpayer come to mind.
If we give those whom do not have, the power to take, by arming them and disarming the law abiding taxpayers.
Who is screwed?

As you can clearly see if they disarm us, they control us, if they control us they own us.
We be slaves to the government then.
Is that what you want?
I don't.
