If you want to see what a disarmed society looks like, look no further than England.
Thousands of angry, drunk, violent thugs running wild and stealing anything they can carry. Shopkeepers and homeowners crippled with fear, unable to defend their loved ones or their property. Innocent citizens forced to watch helplessly while their life’s dreams everything they worked so hard to build and acquire are carried out the door, or smashed to pieces, or burned to the ground.
Men, women and children forced to strip naked in the streets, while packs of criminals laugh and ridicule them before making off with their clothing.
Justice William Smith House, Mercersburg, PA -- Birthplace of the Second Amendment in 1765.

First they came . . . .
By JW Ross
First they came for the guns of the Jews, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the guns of the Catholics, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Catholic.
Then they came for the guns of the Protestants, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Protestant.
Then they came for my guns -- and there was no one left to speak for me.

Gun Registration: The Nazi Paradigm
Throughout history restrictions on the possession of weapons by citizens by governments, be they dually elected or tyranical, are nothing new and, in fact, date to ancient times. However, the inevitable consequence of restrictions is no better illustrated than by the plight of the Jews in WWII.
Gun Registration: The Nazi Paradigm
By Stephen P. Halbrook, Ph.D., J.D.
New research into Adolf Hitler's use of firearms registration lists to confiscate guns and the execution of their owners teaches a forceful lesson -- one that reveals why the American people and Congress have rejected registering honest firearm owners.
After invading, Nazis used pre-war lists of gun owners to confiscate firearms, and many gun owners simply disappeared. Following confiscation, the Nazis were free to wreak their evil on the disarmed populace - such as the Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto.
