Gun Control is Socialist
Back to the Socialism vs. Americanism Page

"At the core of the Christian common law, the people are understood to be the owners of the law. Socialism considers law (and everything else) to belong to the government, or to be controlled by it. The police are under the control of whoever owns the law.

"Consider who are the most ardent gun control advocates in America. Senators Charles Schumer, Hillary Clinton, and Diane Finestein, are among the most eager to ban guns, and they are among the most socialist of our national politicians.

"In the House, a dedicated opponent of firearms ownership and self-defense, is Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, an avowed Socialist. This can be said because she is a member of the House Progressive Caucus, which is affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America, which is affiliated with Socialist International.

"Socialism is based on the arrogant assumption that there are a few (elected or in power by force) who are uniquely suited to decide all issues of life. Folks who think like that are hardly likely to make an exception for their subjects to take personal responsibility for their own defense."
