"Disarm the people- that is the best and most effective way to enslave them." ~ James Madison

"A people armed and free, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition and is a bulwark for the nation against foreign invasion and domestic oppression." ~ James Madison

James Madison identified a problem that has been demonstrated time and again as prophetic all over the world. In the early 20th century, Russian citizens were disarmed and live under tyrannical communism even today.

German citizens were disarmed and Hitler controlled their societal destruction during World War II. North Korea is a disarmed society that has a wall to keep citizens from “escaping” the communist tyranny. Iran disarmed it citizens and tens of thousands of them have been murdered by their government just this year. Venezuela disarmed her citizens and they lived under a tyrannical government for decades. Yes, the citizens of these countries, for all practical purposes, are slaves.

Even in the United States of America, the most dangerous places to live are in are the anti-American Socialist Democrat controlled jurisdictions where gun control laws are the strictest. More people were murdered in the United States last week than Americans killed, in the first four weeks of the Iran military action, but the anti-American Socialist Democrats and the toadies in the mainstream media never talk about that.

"I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." ~ James Madison

"When you abandon freedom to achieve security, you lose both and deserve neither." ~ Thomas Jefferson

The most important step for a government to achieve total control of a population is to take away their guns. Does that sound familiar? The anti-American Socialist Democrat Party has been trying to execute that plan for more than half a century. The anti-American Socialist Democrats have been trying to sell gun control as a safety issue (or security). Horse apples. Gun control only applies to honest law-abiding citizens. Criminals and tyrannical government officials don’t care about gun laws. Thank God the Founding Fathers gave America the 2nd Amendment.

"Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?" ~ Patrick Henry

Never forget, taking guns away from citizens is the most important step to deny freedom.

After a 55 year career as a professional pilot in the military, in law enforcement, in the private sector, and in federal civil service, I am now retired.

In many of these positions I repeatedly took an oath to defend the United States Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.
