If you don't know the history, England banned all legal ownership of handguns many years ago with very little resistance from its people. It was thought to be a good measure to bring down gun crime. The result has been double digit increases in gun crime every year since the ban. Since then the country has taken away many more freedoms, to hunt, to defend oneself from harm, and finally its citizens are speaking up.
Many of us who put time into defending gun freedom are ridiculed that the loss of gun freedom can never happen here because of the second amendment, yet we have seen throughout the history of the US that lawmakers eager to protect their own power will readily pass laws in violation of the second amendment. To this day, even after the Heller case, Chicago is fighting an NRA lawsuit to protect their own unconstitutional handgun ban.
If it were not for YOU, the American gun owning public, who so cling to freedom and defend any affront to it, we would end up much like England, whose citizens are now reeling in the face of ridiculous violent crime rates and a government that does not represent their interests.
Forward this to your friends. I have not seen anything this powerful in a long time and it should "go viral" as it is called to anyone in America who questions those who fight for firearms freedom now, before we lose it.

The real reason is to solidify the power base of the 'party' in power. It is common knowlage, 'with the arms goes the power'.
This is why the second amendment was placed in the Bill of Individual Rights. Whether it be individually or collectively FREE people have the right to be armed.
Simply a history lesson, for those smart enough to understand basic history. It has never changed and it never will, human nature!!![:(!]
Every time these 'bans' have taken place in history they 'lie' about why they do it.[:(!]

Dammit Jim!! (sorry, just watched an old Star Trek)
You are 100% correct. We only have to get you over the last hurdle. Human nature, particularly those humans that inhabit government will take what they think they can get. We need to hold their feet to the fire and insist that there is no Governmental authority to infringe the RTKBA, as is clearly stated in the 2nd.
Any ceding of power convinces them that they own this right of the people, and keeps the door open for them.
