Gun prohibitionists often laugh when told that the Second Amendment
exists in part to ensure that citizens can fight their own government
should it be necessary. "Nonsense," they scoff. "Maybe
we needed that 200 years ago, but times are different now. Governments
_help_ people."
Really?

, which is a first-person account, present day, from Zimbabwe. Our
book _Death by "Gun Control"_ ( www.jpfo.org/filegen-a-m/deathgc.htm
) has a chapter on Zimbabwe, in which we warned -- in 2001! -- about
the consequences of citizen disarmament in that country. We also cover
Zimbabwe in our documentary _Innocents Betrayed_ ( www.innocentsbetrayed.com
).
Our fears were well-placed. There doesn't have to be outright Nazi-style
genocide for there to be massive oppression and suffering with government's
consent and approval. This story also highlights what happens when
government assumes command of the economy. Exactly what happened in
the Soviet Union and in Red China is happening all over again in Zimbabwe.
People claim that humanity learned from those awful experiences.
It hasn't. The UN, being a socialist enclave, does nothing about it.
The US, cowed by political correctness, apparently has no comment.
So these poor folks suffer, starve and die, at the hands of the government
that first disarmed them.
