The private American militia

To the Editor:

George Washington said, "Yes, you can have my gun, over my dead body!"

Those states that made gun control are:

Results: No defense

1939-1953 - Soviet Union - 20 million murdered

1911 to 1917 - Turkey -1.5 million murdered

1938 to 1945 - Germany - 1.3 million murdered

1935 to 1952 - China - 20 million murdered

1964 to 1981 - Guatemala - 100,000 Myan Indians murdered

1970 to 1979 - Uganda - 300,000 Christians murdered

1956 to 1977 - Cambodia 1 million educated murdered

In the 1900's - worldwide 56 million defenseless murdered

2006 to 2007 - Australia- A law: Gun surrender - 640,381 guns destroyed

The law abiding turned them in but the criminals didn't. In Australia homicides- up 3.2 percent; assaults - up 8.6 percent; robberies - up 44 percent. In Victoria, homicides - up 300 percent.

Guns in the hands of honest Americans saves lives and property. With these 500,000,000 guns and ammo, we American possess, we are citizens! Without them we are subjects, serfs, peons, coolies; slaves!

In 1941 the Japanese didn't invade the U.S. because they knew we were armed.

In the 1990's we learned that the Soviet generals wouldn't invade us at the peak of their power (1970's) because they too knew we had 500,000,000 guns and that even though they might get halfway across the U.S.A. they wouldn't have any army left.

The militia is private American citizens with their own guns, not government.
