In the aftermath of the Colorado "Batman" shootings by James Holmes, a medical student at the University of Colorado, pursuing a PhD in neuroscience, the media is rife with talks about regulations (restrictions and bans) and calls for Gun Control. Is "Gun Control" the real "Solution" to the "Problem" at hand? Or is it what the State WANTS us to believe as the ideal "Solution" to the "Problem"?
Guns have been part of Americans since the founding of America 200 plus years ago. How did it become a problem now, especially in the last couple of decades or so?
The Second Amendment (Amendment II) to the United States Constitution is part of the United States Bill of Rights that protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms. It was adopted on December 15, 1791, along with the rest of the Bill of Rights [Wiki]. Therefore, the Right to bear arms (Amendment II) is a Fundamental Right granted by the US Constitution.

Why were the people of America allowed to bear arms?
I used to ridicule the idea of civilians bearing arms, until I realized there's
a good reason and logic behind it. Though the idea of allowing citizens to own firearms sound ridiculous at
first, the fact that this Amendment occupy second place in the
list of amendments should itself show its importance.
The Second Amendment, as passed by the Congress, states:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed".
The sole reason why the Constitution granted
rights to bear arms was that if ever the government turned oppressive against its
people, the government should know that the people have weapons. It was to deter any
sort of government tyranny or dictatorship because an armed public cannot be easily
subjugated. History proves it true. Here’s a short list of government mass
murder carried out throughout history, almost always immediately
following the disarmament of the public (and usually involving staged false
flag events to justify the disarmament):
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. (Stalin) 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. (Hitler) 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. (Mao Tse-tung) 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. (Idi Amin) 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.

So, the founding fathers of America, who drafted the Constitution 200 plus years ago, seems a lot smarter and far-sighted than their counterparts today and knew exactly what they were doing while granting rights to bear arms. Perhaps, it's for this reason, the right to bear arms gained the importance to be placed as the Second Amendment to the Constitution. And today, the Second Amendment is more important than ever before, as America is inching towards a dictatorship with more and more powers being taken away from the people by the government and the society becomes increasingly under surveillance. Even drones are now being used over civilian airspace for surveillance.
On the other side, 2011 smashed the records for gun sales in America, with 16 million guns sold. December 2011 broke the monthly records for sale of guns in America, just in time when Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law. That tells, more and more people are becoming aware of the dangers of brain-dead pigs in positions of power, more than they fear incidents like the Colorado shootout.
Adolf Hitler once said: “The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to posses arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so.”
Similarly, the plans to disarm
American public have been brewing for many years now. Former U.S.
Attorney General, Janet Reno is on record stating “Waiting periods are only a step. Registration is only a
step. The prohibition of private firearms is the goal” . This
has been their moto and all they need is the right crisis. Therefore, the
Colorado “Batman” sort of crimes is simply an excuse or just the right
kind of crises the government needed to enforce gun control. The prohibition of private firearms is the ultimate goal of the
administration, and therefore the escalation of firearm related crisis
is an essential evil for them.
If that sounds crazy, have a look at
this CBS News clipping where a deliberate plot
staged by the government itself, Operation Fast and Furious,
pulled off by the ATF, which helped smuggle tens of thousands of guns into
Mexican drug cartels for the purpose of causing “gun violence” in the USA, then blaming the
Second Amendment for it. They could care less about crime. Crime is only an
excuse to disarm the American people. Interestingly, this shootout also happens
just in time for the vote for passing the UN Small Arms Treaty, which wouldresult in the confiscation of personal firearms in the United States;
perhaps to stir up support.
As mentioned, guns have been part of Americans for 200 plus years. One should ask why in the past couple of decades there is an escalation of psychic shootings. Guns are often blamed, but the real reasons will surprise you (For example, see this article). If you talk to elderly Americans, many of them have lived around guns; sometimes dozens of guns. One of the comments that is commonly heard from elderly folks is: "Gone are the days when we used to leave our house unlocked; gone are the days when we used to leave our keys in the ignition with loaded guns at the back of our truck." No one stole the guns; no one shot each other. So what's wrong with the present generation? Again, often overlooked are the cases where agencies like FBI, CIA, used mind-controlled victims or pre-programmed killers for such crimes, which hardly ever gets the attention of mainstream news channels.
It's unfortunate that some crazy people misuse guns and this kind of crime happens. However, that's no way
comparable to the mass murders committed by governments of the world and therefore no justification to call for gun control or gun confiscation.
