... "History offers other examples of what can happen when citizens are stripped of the means to defend themselves.
The Turkish Ottoman Empire established gun control in 1911. It then proceeded to exterminate 1 and a half million Armenians from 1914 to 1917.
The Soviet Union established gun control in 1929. Subsequently, from 1928 to 1953, 60 million dissidents were imprisoned and then exterminated.
China enacted gun control laws in 1935. After the communist takeover, from 1948 to 1952, 20 million Chinese, unable to defend themselves, were murdered.
Nazi Germany fully established gun control in 1938. That helped the government to round up 13 million defenseless Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, mentally ill and impaired human beings. Many were imprisoned in concentration camps, then destroyed.
Guatemala passed gun control laws in 1964. Then, from 1964 to 1981, 100,000 defenseless Mayan Indians were exterminated.
Uganda established gun control measures in 1970. Predictably, from 1971 to 1979, 300,000 defenseless Christians met a similar fate.
Cambodia established gun control measures in 1956. Subsequently, from 1957 to 1977, 1 million Cambodians met their deaths.
Our Founding Fathers had good reason to include in the Constitution "the right for each citizen to bear arms." They came to this country with vivid memories of what an all-powerful government could do to its defenseless citizens.
In America, the following evidence clearly demonstrates the impact upon criminals that armed citizens have. Vermont has a genuine right-to-carry law. That means no permit is required. Yet Vermont boasts the lowest crime rate in the nation. Nationwide in the USA, concealed-carry laws have resulted in a drop in crime rates.
A comprehensive national study in 1996 determined that violent crime fell after states made it legal to carry concealed firearms. The results of the study showed that states, which passed concealed-carry laws, reduced their murder rate by 8.5 percent, rapes by 5 percent, aggravated assaults by 7 percent and robbery by 3 percent. By extrapolation, if the states that do not have concealed-carry laws had adopted such laws in 1992, approximately 1,570 murders, 4,177 rapes, 60,000 aggravated assaults and 12,000 robberies would have been avoided yearly.
So let's deal with the real problem – by seeking to reform the minds of our citizens with biblical morality and ethics. Paul, writing in II Timothy 3:1-5, said, "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!"
All of the above characteristics are those of a society that has rejected God and His morality and ethics. It is an accurate description of the predominant amoral behavior in America today. And as a result, "perilous times" have come."
They don't teach this in public schools...

No.
We don't teach this in school. In Fact everything that is expected to be taught is exactly opposite of what you just wrote.
Had I taught any part of your post I would be asked to leave before the day was up.
When there is gun control, the government usually destroys the status quo. They then have total control of the people. We need to stand up and kick this empty suit and all his minions out of office. I am not so sure that prison is out of the question. Traitors are usually hung, and these people are traitors!
you can also kill someone with a vehicle while drunk and get 2 months in prison, but if you shoot yourself in the leg you goto prison for 2 years!
Jessie Ventura said it best, " Good gun control is putting the second round in the first hole."
