If that were to happen, it will look like Syria part two in our back yards. Some will hope it does, I don't. Only for my family's sake.
True as true gets. It still blows my mind how some folks don't get this and how some folks just don't care.U.S. Is One Liberal Justice Away from End of Gun Rights
No sane person would want it. If they do, they haven't thought out how bad it will get. Win or lose, it will be nasty and ugly.
Unfortunately, with the way things are going, I don't see a very bright future for anyone.
As sad as it is, they will one day take away our rights and not one single shot will be fired.
I appeal to the public to disarm the ambitious. Why
are clandestine arms being stored at this very minute? Why are arms being
hidden at distinct points of the capital? Why are arms being smuggled at
this moment? I tell you that there are members of certain revolutionary
organizations who are smuggling and storing arms. All the arms that were
found by the rebel army are stored and locked in barracks, where they
belong.
What are these arms for? Against whom are they going to be used? Against
the revolutionary government that has the support of all the people? Do we
have a dictatorship here? Are we going to take up arms against a free
government that respects the rights of the people?
We have a free country here. We have no censorship, and the press is free.
The people can gather freely if they want to. There is no tormenting of
political prisoners, no murders, no terror. When all the rights of the
citizens have been restored--and an election for the purpose is going to be
held as soon as possible--why do we need arms? Are we going to unseat the
President with the arms? Are we going to set up revolutionary
organizations? Are we going to have gangsters? Are we going to practice
daily shooting on the streets of the capital? Why do we need arms? Yet I
tell you here and now that two days ago elements of certain organizations
broke into the San Antonio barracks, which are under the jurisdiction of
Commander Camilo Cienfuegos and also under my jurisdiction as commander in
chief of the armed forces, and carried away 500 small arms, (16?) machine
guns, and 80,000 cartridges.
