Hi Roger, as I told Jim, guns were more or less a necessity when I was growing up but too, then times were so much different than they are now. One of my friends sent this to me a few days ago and it was an eye opener for me and I thought it might be for others too. The mainstream media doesn’t really want to talk about the fact that disarming the population has resulted in some of the most horrific massacres in human history.
1911 – Turkey disarmed it’s citizens, and between 1915 – 1917 they murdered 1.5 million Armenians.
1929 – Russia disarmed it’s citizens, and between 1929 – 1953 they murdered 20 million Russians.
1935 – China disarmed it’s citizens, and between 1948 – 1952 they murdered 20 million Chinese.
1938 – Germany disarmed it’s citizens, and between 1939 – 1945 they murdered 16 million Jews.
1956 – Cambodia disarmed it’s citizens, and between 1975 – 1977 they murdered 1 million Educated people.
1964 – Guatamala disarmed it’s citizens, and between 1964 – 1981 they murdered 100,000 Mayan Indians.
1970 – Uganda disarmed it’s citizens, and between 1971 – 1979 they murdered 300,000 Christians. Quote: It's amazing the difference in opinion and views in out two countries. I'm still not comfortable even seeing guns with the police at Heathrow Airport. Police in the UK are only allowed guns in special cases. Our police death count is very low. I do understand the differences in our history but the thought that any of my neighbours could own a gun is to me, scary. I wish you a good resolution to the current debate. This will certainly concentrate the minds. Pro Obama camp will rejoice in his bravery. The Anti Obama camp will have more amunition as to his committment to American freedom. It makes for an interesting time in the USA as this is one of those BIG decisions that governments prefer to dodge. Roger
