Hate to say it, but its true. Think about it, throughout history, when people are dominated by the government, whether conquered or revolution, the first freedom to be removed is the freedom to keep arms. But to what end? In the US, if 300 million people suddenly lost the right to self defense, the government could do as it pleases. The first politician to take guns from Americans will be the next Caesar. If you love your freedoms, you must also learn to fire a weapon and fight for them.
