Washington, D.C., a handgun ban went into effect during 1977, and after 29 years of the ban D.C.'s murder rates have ranked second among the 50 largest cities for 15 years. President Obama's gun control policies are ineffective. In almost every case where handgun bans have been implemented, murder rates have risen. With overwhelming evidence the question must now be asked, why ignore the facts any longer?
Why do they need a complete outlawing of guns? TO CONTROL PEOPLE AND NOT LETTING THEM THE SLIGHTEST CHANCE TO REVOLT, FOR EXAMPLE WHEN PRIVATE PROPERTY WILL BE ABOLISHED! How will they be able to ban all firearms? THEY NEED PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING AND EVEN DEMANDING IT, THEY NEED A GOOD EXCUSE! What would be the single best excuse for it by far? You don't know? C'mon .. THE ASSASSINATION OF OUR BELOVED PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA BY WHITE, SUPREMACIST RACISTS ! Who would not accept such an excuse?
If Obama makes it to office and tries to restrict my Bill of Rights, they can come get them. I will shoot at any government official trying to disarm me. There should be not doubt at all about the nature of the 2nd Amd, just look at Lexington and Concord in the Rev. War. Individual citizens with personally owned firearms stood up against a tyranical government. That's all the proof you need right there, you can't take down a corrupt gov't if the gov't only has the guns. No self defence either!
A lot's happened since then. I still have my firearms and I won't give them up. In my opinion the Bill of Rights, especially the 2nd Amendment, is one of the few things still keeping this country at the roots of what it is. The times may change, but the Bill of Rights, our heritage, the God-given right to life (and the preservation of it), and the spirit of the people are what keeps America what it is.
