It was the same anti gun crowd that Hitler sent to the gas chambers. 8 million of them. As I was growing up we had the cold war with Russia. Russia knew they could prevail over America militarily but would not be able to occupy America because every American house had multiple guns and Americans would not give up their guns or their country or their freedom. American gun ownership definitely kept peace in the world during the cold war. Americans value having the latest and best technology available to protect against criminals foreign and domestic, other countries and cartels, gangs and nut cases, and even our own government if necessary. If we would have allowed England to control our guns we would not be the USA today. In my opinion any anti gun or citizen disarmament is un American.
