To jack rogers and others who would have their government control guns. The facts of gun crimes and gun control are well known. Perhaps a look at what governments do once they’ve disarmed their citizens. A simple look at the historical evidence should do:

Soviet Union: Established gun control in 1929. From 1929-1953 20 million people unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

Turkey: Established gun control in 1911. From 1915-1917 1.5 million Armenians unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

Germany: Established gun control in 1938. From 1939-1945 13 million people unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

China: Established gun control in 1935. From 1948-1952 20 million people unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

Guatemala: Established gun control in 1964. From 1964-1981 100,000 Mayan Indians unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

Uganda: Established gun control in 1970. From 1971-1979 300,000 Christians unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

Cambodia: Established gun control in 1956. From 1975-1977 1 million people unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

’nuff said.
