This video does have some graphic images. It's necessary to show the real outcome of disarming the people. Too many citizens think the Second Amendment is strictly for hunting purposes. This video shows why the founders wisely made it an inalienable right to keep and bear arms. For the record, our own government can't be trusted either not to commit atrocities against our own citizens.
Published on Dec 17, 2012 In this powerful documentary produced by Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (http://jpfo.org), you will learn how governments have historically deprived people of firearms ... and then wiped them from the face of the earth.
This is the true story of Gun control from around the world, especially in the 20th century. It details how governments have ALWAYS BEEN the biggest threat to the safety, security and prosperity of the people. While Americans can see how this could happen in other countries, most can't EVER imaging it being able to happen here because there are so many rights guaranteed by the constitution. But that ONLY when the people STAND UP for those rights, because it's the nature of government to constantly try and TAKE them away from us.

Our forefathers, weary of the oppressive measures that King George III's government forced upon them, in common declared their independence from England in 1776. They were not expected to be successful in that resistance. The moneyed people had backed England for two major reasons. First, our forefathers wanted a rigid, written Constitution "set in concrete."
"No Free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms," wrote Thomas Jefferson.
"Americans have the right and advantage of being armed — unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms," argued James Madison.
As Thomas Jefferson said "Experience has shown that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted into tyranny".
Excellent Steph, thanks. Hopefully people will wake up, but I'm so pessimistic these days I doubt it. It will take another round of millions of people being slaughtered before they will. Unfortunately people never learn, and history always repeats itself.
America's hope is not the donkey or the elephant, but the Lamb.
I do hope there are enough people who will wake up to what is going on. Like you, I don't hold out much hope for people to realize what they are allowing to happen.
"I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them."- Galileo Galilei
It's compelling and eye opening. One thing that can be useful in this argument is that our own government has already shown it will abuse groups of people if given the chance.

As I've expressed in other threads, for the first time in my more than 6 decades, I'm completely pessimistic about America's future.
If 51% of Americans agree with disarming law-abiding citizens, the future you predict will most likely occur.
I just don't think most people care what's happening.
