Recently I wrote the article about gun control titled, Rights Are Not Grantings To Be Given or Taken Away!, explaining that this issue of gun rights isn’t really about guns at all, and even those who don’t own guns, don’t like guns, and don’t want guns in their homes have to understand the foundational issue. It about the definition of rights – not about guns. That makes this "gun rights" issue so much deeper and more profound.
Today I received an e-mail from a friend outlining the consequences of "gun control" and what rights are left when “gun control” leads to “government control”. After that there will be no need to be able to define “rights” because they will cease to exist.
I don’t know who Mark Lucas is, but it appears that he is the originator of the information in this e-mail. Here is most of what was said.
The main topic of discussion these days is gun control. Liberal progressive politicians are trying hard to convince people to give up their guns in order to stop violence. You know the mantra: Guns are bad and hurt people, so give up your guns while we all sing Kumbaya. Without guns it will be a safer world for everyone.
But there is a problem with this mantra: Do you really think criminals will give up their guns? Each gun law seems to just give birth to yet more gun laws. When the citizens guns are gone and only the government has guns, what then? We will be at the mercy and control of the prevailing regime of the time, with no means to resist. When this happens, the government is no longer the servant, but the master. It will then enact even more laws for “your protection” and the sheeple will have no choice but to fall in lock step and obey.
Consider the following historical facts:
1929, the USSR established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, approximately
20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
1928, Germany established gun control. From 1939 to 1945, 13 million Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, the mentally ill and others who were unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
1935, China established gun control. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
1956, Cambodia established gun control. From 1975 to 1977 one million “educated” people, unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
1964, Guatemala established gun control. From 1964 to 1981, one hundred thousand Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated
1970, Uganda established gun control. From 1971 to 1979 three hundred thousand Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated
The body count is not yet in on the number of Serbs who were unable to defend themselves and were exterminated, but the television images should still be fresh in your mind. Adding the victims of genocide in Barundi, Darfur, and Iraq brings the total number of victims who lost their lives because of gun control to approximately 100 million people in the last century. These are cold, hard facts.
Every time gun registration has been enacted “for the safety of citizens,” it has led to gun confiscation. We should learn from the mistakes of the past: the next time someone speaks out in favor of gun control, ask which group of citizens they want to see exterminated.
Rights are lost in small, insidious increments that seem inconsequential at the time, but they are never regained. Compare the erosion of rights to the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon was not formed in one fell swoop, but little by little, day by day, grain of sand by grain of sand until finally there was a gaping chasm. Rights that were paid for in blood are now being frittered away by a generation that has never had to sacrifices (with the exception of the few and the proud who voluntarily join the military). How many of these individuals has ever stood graveside to accept a folded flag “behalf of a grateful nation”?

If you make a lie big enough and repeat it often enough, people will believe it and the myth becomes reality. Gun control is NOT for the “good of the people”, gun control is about one thing and one thing only: government control!
