THE PURPOSE OF OWNING GUNS
The primary purpose of allowing the common man to own guns is to make it easy for the common man to kill people working for the government. It also helps in case of invasion. Defense against street crime is only a secondary purpose. Evil men want to take guns away from the common people so it will be easier to enslave them. It makes them helpless against government tyranny and against invasion.
When they come to take you away, wouldn’t you like to have a gun so you can shoot a few of them? That is the purpose of the Second Amendment.
The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, in full, says: “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.”.
Gun Owners of America – http://gunowners.org/ – is, according to Ron Paul, “the only no-compromise gun lobby in Washington”.
THE FOUNDING FATHERS LOVED THEIR GUNS
GEORGE WASHINGTON said, "A free people ought . . . to be armed . . . .".
THOMAS JEFFERSON said, “What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. . . . The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.”.
THOMAS JEFFERSON said, "No Free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.".
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN said, "The thoughtful reader may wonder, why wasn't Jefferson's proposal of ‘No freeman shall ever be debarred the use of arms’ adopted by the Virginia legislature? They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.".
SAMUEL ADAMS said, “The Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress . . . to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.”.
GEORGE MASON said, ". . . to disarm the people – that was the best and most effectual way to enslave them.".
JAMES MADISON said, “[The Constitution preserves] the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation [where] the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.”.
NOAH WEBSTER said, “Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe.”.
THOMAS PAINE said, "The supposed quietude of a good man allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside . . . Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them . . . .".
PATRICK HENRY said, “The great object is that every man be armed. . . . Everyone who is able may have a gun.”.
PATRICK HENRY said, "Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?".
PATRICK HENRY said, "Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.".

HITLER said, “The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or native police.”.
CHUCK BALDWIN: CHRISTIANS SHOULD KEEP THEIR GUNS
Pastor Chuck Baldwin has written an eloquent article denouncing gun control at: http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin734.htm He states bluntly, “the future of freedom and liberty . . . hang in the balance.”.
He and his son Timothy Baldwin have written a book, “To Keep Or Not To Keep – Why Christians Should Not Give Up Their Guns”. http://keepyourarms.com/
EDWIN VIEIRA: GUN CONTROL IS TREASON
Edwin Vieira has written a 26 page article titled “Dare Call It Treason”. He says, “. . . ‘gun control’, rightly understood, constitutes nothing less than ‘Treason’, in the strict constitutional sense of ‘levying War against the [United States]’.”.
http://www.shastadefense.com/Dare-Call-It-Treason-21.pdf
He says, “No one with intelligence sufficient to parrot the standard propaganda in favor of ‘gun control’ can simultaneously be so dim-witted as not to be held personally accountable – intellectually, morally, politically, and legally – for reading and understanding the historical record of modern times: namely, that aspiring usurpers and tyrants always disarm the people as the indispensable step towards oppressing them; and that once the people are rendered helpless through disarmament, and confronted by a psychopathic political class claiming unlimited “governmental” powers, they inevitably become the victims of slavery and mass murder.”.
