All Those in Favor of gun Control Raise Your Right Hand

... Hitler in Germany, Stalin in Russia, Pol Pot in Cambodia, Mao Tse Tung in China, Idi Amin in Uganda, were all in favor of full disarmament of their people. All of these nations began implementing gun control in the name of public safety. As time progressed their goal was to fully disarm all of their citizens. Once disarmed, the citizens of those nations were totally defenseless against a totalitarian government set on destroying the voice of any opposition. They were all responsible for the deaths of untold millions of their own citizens. We are destined to repeat the history of other nations if we do not learn from it that gun control ultimately leads to total governmental control of the citizens of that nation.
Historical research will show, contrary to what the anti-gun majority would like us to believe, that when our founding fathers wrote the second amendment, it was a guarantee for the people to bear arms and doing so guaranteed us the basic human right to self defense. ... It states in the “United States Constitution” (1776) “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” In the “Pennsylvania Constitution” (1776) it states “That the people have a right to bear arms for the defense of themselves and the state, and as standing armies in the time of peace are dangerous to liberty, they ought not to be kept up, and that the military should be kept under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power.” Albert Gallatin of the New York Historical Society (1789),
"The whole of the Bill of Rights is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals … It establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to deprive them of.” Henry Campbell Black, Handbook of American Constitutional Law (1895) states "The second amendment to the federal constitution, as well as the constitutions of many of the states, guaranty to the people the right to bear arms. This is a natural right, not created or granted by the constitutions.” Even our own state government has an amendment to its state constitution guaranteeing our right to bear arms, Washington Constitution Article I, Section 24 “The right of the individual citizen to bear arms in defense of himself, or the state, shall not be impaired, but nothing in this section shall be construed as authorizing individuals or corporations to organize, maintain or employ an armed body of men.
