if you'd care to take a stab at this let me know. my cousin posted this on FB not long ago:
A MUST READ By LA Smith !!! --- A LITTLE BIT OF GUN CONTROL HISTORY..........
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control: From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ------------------------------ In 1911, Turkey established gun control: From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ------------------------------ Germany established gun control in 1938: From 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated. ------------------------------ China established gun control in 1935: From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ------------------------------
Guatemala established gun control in 1964: From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ---- ------------- ------------- Uganda established gun control in 1970: From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ------------------------------
Cambodia established gun control in 1956: From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ----------------------------- 56 million defenseless people were rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control! ------------------------------
You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens. With guns, we are 'citizens'; without them, we are 'subjects'.
During WW II, the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED! Gun owners in the USA are the largest armed forces in the world! If you value your freedom, please spread this anti gun-control message to all of your friends.
The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. SWITZERLAND ISSUES A GUN TO EVERY HOUSEHOLD! SWITZERLAND'S GOVERNMENT ISSUES AND TRAINS EVERY ADULT IN THE USE OF A RIFLE. SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!
DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET. I'm a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment! If you’re not a believer, please reconsider the true facts. This is history; not the BS that's being shown on TV, sanctioned by our illustrious leaders in Washington.
Well, duh. Everybody knows the only thing standing in between our military industrial complex and forced internment at a FEMA camp is Joe Six Pack and his Bushmaster.
Do you think there's a team of people at the NRA who write these things and leak them on the internet? Because I can't imagine that anyone stupid enough to buy it would be smart enough to write it.
I love the Swiss reference. They failed to mention that the Swiss aren't allowed to keep ammo in their homes and it has to be checked out for approved use. So, yeah, let's do what the Swiss do.

Do you have a source for this? I'd love to have it since the Swiss get brought up all the time.

The Japanese didn't invade because they were afraid of gun toting Californians??? I mean, it just boggles the mind. It's as if the Pacific Ocean between Hawaii and the West Coast isn't even there... Hawaii was the maximum range of their airforce/navy and they got lucky getting the fleet in Pearl Harbor. Imagining a Japanese invasion force of mainland America is farcical.

Thanks! The second link is particularly informative. I particularly like the part where a Swiss professor and gun enthusiast is all pissed of that the NRA is using the Swiss as an example.
I also found this one that details Swiss gun control. Turns out they have very strict gun control laws. Shocker!!
"Appearing on CNN on Thursday afternoon, Carson was questioned by Wolf Blitzer on a claim in his recent book, A More Perfect Union, in which he connects the rise of Hitler to gun control. "There were a number of countries where tyranny reigned, and before it happened, they disarmed the people," Carson said. "That was my point."
When Blitzer pressed further and asked whether an absence of gun control laws in Europe would have saved six million Jews from being slaughtered, Carson responded: 'I think the likelihood of Hitler being able to accomplish his goals would have been greatly diminished if the people had been armed.'"
I guess he has overtaken Trump as the candidate that most embodies a comment section come to life.
