Heh.

But we don't. We just copy his efforts and follow through.

The roots of modern era gun control come from Nazi Germany. Senator Dodd,
IIRC, had the Nazi gun control laws translated in 1963 or 1964 by the Library
of Congress. Ever wonder where the "sporting use" test came from? Nazi
Germany was the origin of this phrase. Most of what became GCA '68 was based
directly on Nazi era German laws.

So the unsettling picture of a few days ago is historically accurate. Gun
control in the United States started as a way to disarm blacks in the post
civil war South, and continues today to be used primarily to disarm the poor.

Is it any coincidence that the highest crime rates in the US are in the areas
with the strictest gun control? Would you feel safe in Chicago, DC, NYC, or LA?
These cities essentially ban guns.

My challenge to gun control proponents is to put up or shut up: If you want
guns banned, or are against having guns in the home, or support disarming
victims (aka trigger locks), please, put a big sign on your door letting the
rest of us know yours is a gun-free home.

You won't? Why not? Why not tell the whole world there are no guns in your home?
Why not take out one of those ads in the paper. You could all band together
and buy a full page ad in the Daily Effort listing your names and a pledge to 
have a gun-free home.

You see, even gun grabbers rely on the gun culture for the security of the
very home they live in. They just don't realize it.
