DHS: GUN CONTROL Is NOW IN OUR HANDS

The Second Amendment has failed many times to prevent tyranny and is therefore a faulty concept. Three examples:

1. The NSA is violating our right against unreasonable searches.

2. During WW2, the government arrested thousands of Italian/Japanese/German American families, many of whom had been in the country for several generations, and at gunpoint forced them into internment camps, thus violating their right to a fair trial, among other things.

3. In 1798, President Adams signed into law the Sedition Act, under which Americans were fined and imprisoned for speaking negatively against Congress or the President. Men were imprisoned for merely publishing essays that were deemed "too critical" of Adams. Inspired by the then-recent French Revolution, the American public was increasingly calling for an overthrow of what they perceived to be a "tyrannical" federal government.

In all three of these examples, the Second Amendment FAILED.

The Founding Fathers were well-intentioned, but we have two centuries of hindsight over them. As it turns out, the tyrant's greatest fear is not "an armed populace." (Ask Hussein.) As the Arab Spring has demonstrated in no uncertain terms, the tyrant's greatest fear is public protest. Millions of citizens protesting a corrupt government is more powerful than any gun can ever be.
