Cries for 'Gun Bans' Have Begun

It has started with all "the usual suspects", and as usual, the cacophony has been increased by those well meaning individuals who have no understanding of history, people, sociology or weaponry. Those innocents who would ban handguns or 'assault weapons' understand the uses of neither. The handgun is a primarily a defensive weapon, best suited to close encounters when about to be overpowered. Example, a woman pulls into a convenience store at 8:00p.m. on a brightly lit street in her city of residence and her car is surrounded by a group of thugs explicitly saying what their intentions are, and she's seven months pregnant. What does she do? She picks up her husband's pistol and the entire group runs, she then drives home, no shots fired, but very frightened. Another scenario, a woman is at home with her children while her husband is working night shift. She goes to bed and is soon asleep. Her cat awakens her, she turns on the light and discovers the window brace has been knocked from the window, she grasps her husband's pistol and the man who cut her window screen trying to get in, runs away. How could this happen, they live across the street from the police department?
Fantasy? No, both incidents happened to my wife, one on the west coast and one in the south. Without a handgun available and the will to use it, what would have happened?
People, some of you don't understand. Most victims of violent crime are defenseless. You don't understand, the most heinous mass murders have been perpetrated by government upon their own disarmed populations, examples:
Turkish genocide of Armenians in WWI
Nazi genocide of Millions in WWII
Soviet genocide of 22 million over a fifty year period
Communist China genocide of unknown millions during the 'Cultural Revolution'
Communist China genocide of over 1 million Tibetans during the fifty years they have occupied that country
Khmer Rouge genocide of over 1 million in Cambodia
Rwanda Hutu genocide of Tutsi
Liberia genocide
Nigeria genocide
Need I go on? "But that can't happen here..."
Ask the Cherokee why they left their warm homes in the Smoky Mountains in the dead of winter to relocate on the barren plains of the Oklahoma Territory.
Ask the Dakota about receiving blankets for winter that had been exposed to measles and chicken pox.
Remember Wounded Knee?
More recently, the MOVE sect in Philadelphia, PA, the Weaver family in Idaho, and the Branch Davidians at Waco, TX. No, the government here wouldn't do anything like that. Jewish fathers, veterans of the German army of WWI, told their children the same thing before being sent to Auschwitz or Treblinka.
It all begins with disarmament. In Chicago, residents of government housing were restricted from keeping firearms for self defence. If you owned one and used it to protect yourself from violent attack, you would be evicted and/or prosecuted. This in violation of 2nd Amendment civil right to possess the means for self defence, and where was Jesse Jackson? Then it was announced that the police could perform 'sweeps' and could search any residence in public housing without a warrant to ensure that no one was keeping a firearm. This in violation of 4th Amendment civil right to be secure from unwarranted search and seizure, and where was Al Sharpton?
Government, like all predators,begins their attacks with the weak and defenceless then moves up the food chain. Guess who's next?
