“Gun control is part and parcel of the ongoing collectivist effort to eviscerate individual sovereignty and replace it with dependence upon and allegiance to the state.”

Absolutely correct.

No pure reason to disarm a person and leave them helpless and defenseless.

History shows quite clearly that gun control is not about public safety. It's about control of the public. And a government that fears the public...can not be trusted.

We hold this truth to be self evident !

True.
