Letter
Does Freedom Really Ring?
- Thomas Jefferson
No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
- Thomas Jefferson
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear
arms is, as a last resort to protect themselves against tyranny in
government.
Our Second Amendment is one of our most cherished.
The right to keep and bear arms is what keeps government subservient to its
citizenry. Without this right, we would have anarchy in the streets, the
criminal would still have guns, and violent crime would escalate ten+ fold.
Gun owners in Australia were forced by a new law to surrender 640,381
personal firearms to be destroyed by that government, a program costing
Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars.
The following is directed to our President elect. The first year results of
the weapons take over are: homicides up 3.2 percent, Australia-wide,
assaults up 8.6 percent, armed robberies up 44 percent (guess who was
armed). In the state of Victoria alone, (better take a seat) homicides with
firearms up 300 percent.
