December 04, 2008: It never ceases to agitate my mind whenever I read articles advocating gun control, such as the one written by free lance journalist Alexander Zaitchik in today's issue of AlterNet (December 4, 2008).
Individuals and groups, including those supposedly somewhat pro-gun ownership, advocating government control over our citizens' ownership of firearms is in stark contrast to what out founding fathers wanted. Those men knew that the firearm owning citizen was a powerful blockade against government usurping the liberties of its country's populace. Calls for even mild, if such a thing is possible, gun controls, opens the floodgates of full regulations against our right, and privilege, of firearm ownership.
A government's attempt to appease a hostile country in order to prevent an attack upon its borders dooms that country to failure. Advocates of the general concept of gun control hope to appease those who would harm us, from within our borders and from without, a stance which would eventually doom us all.
