There is much being said today about gun control and gun registration. I will start this comment by quoting Thomas Jefferson. He said that free men must be armed and stay armed to stay free. This nation was freed from England by the way of gun. Slavery was defeated by the way of gun. In World War II, the Japanese and Germans were defeated by the gun and now enjoy unlimited freedom. Hussein was defeated by the gun. No tyranny has ever given in without a fight. Thomas Jefferson also said that there would always be those who would usurp your freedom if you were weak and defenseless. Passing any law that curtails your possession of a weapon gives an advantage to the criminals. By making stringent laws for registration, it will wind up making half or more of the population law breakers as most people will not comply ether by their belief in the Constitution or negligence. Sweden and Switzerland were not invaded by Hitler…why? Politics, for several reasons. However, both countries had a citizen military, and there was a weapon assigned to every male of age, plus there was no gun registration for private guns. All the other nations the Germans military had to do was take the list and go to your house to take your gun. If you didn’t have it, you would be arrested or shot. Chilling, isn’t it? And more chilling is the fact that some of our lawmakers would put your name on a national gun law list. This list will be in every law enforcement agency in the nation and many foreign countries. The criminals will have a field day with them. Only the very dumb would believe that they won’t fall in the wrong hands. There are those who would make you believe that guns are evil. People are evil, not guns. It’s the people who misuse guns who should be banned! Hershell Smith From Fitzgerald ga
