My dear Mother sent me an article the other day that was so very good I had to share it. Titled 'Where Does Gun Control Lead?' by Hal Lindsay at World Net Daily, it leaves no doubt in my mind what would happen here in America if this comes. Here's an excerpt:

So removing guns from law-abiding citizens is not the answer. It only leaves them
> defenseless before the criminals that in any case will manage to obtain guns. History
> repeatedly proves this point.
> Listen to this statement and ask yourself who made it: "This year will go down in history.
For
> the first time a civilized nation has full gun registration. The street will be safer, the police
> more efficient and the world will follow our lead into the future." That was spoken by Adolf
> Hitler, on April 15, 1935.
> 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.
