The DC Gun Ban
by Ron Paul

***Begin Quote***

Gun control historically serves as a gateway to tyranny. Tyrants from Hitler to Mao to Stalin have sought to disarm their own citizens, for the simple reason that unarmed people are easier to control. Our Founders, having just expelled the British army, knew that the right to bear arms serves as the guardian of every other right. This is the principle so often ignored by both sides in the gun control debate. Only armed citizens can resist tyrannical government.

You have to like the fellow who understands the basic principle.

Governments kill unarmed citizens.

Look at Nazi Germany. Envision what would have happened when the Nazis came to collect the Jews. Even if at each apartment, the Nazis only lost ONE thug. You’d need a whole supply of new thugs. As an example look at what a handful of starving doomed people did with SIX guns and a lot of guts. The held off divisions for weeks. That’s a fifth generation war (i.e., the people against “their” government)! It’s not hard to imagine it today. Look at some of the Hollywood movies. It’ll be deadly, ugly, and bloody. But the people can never be defeated! Temporarily subjugated, maybe for decades, but never defeated.
