Weapons and citizens

 There has been chatter about weapons, including assault weapons in social media.

Here are some sample responses:

By AD on Janet D's post

Before any government (including the USA) can exact COMPLETE control over their citizenry, they must first find a way to DISARM their citizens so they have no way of defending themselves against such a rogue, diabolical, tyrannical, Marxist government, and subsequently, not being able to defend themselves, their families and their property. Because of the great wisdom of our nation's founding fathers, in establishing the #2A as second in importance only to the #1A was to ensure that in this country, that would never be allowed to happen. Knowing that the citizens of this country would never vote to repeal the #2A, the maniacal left is content to strip away the rights of law abiding citizens piece by piece, with the help of a complicit left wing media spoon feeding the masses the great lie about guns, instead of holding the criminals responsible for their actions. The Genocide against the Armenians, Jews, and many other people nations who were conquered and slaughtered was only possible because they were first (legally) DISARMED by their oppressors. "U.S. Ambassador Henry Morgenthau reported that the Ottoman Turks faced an obstacle: “Before Armenia could be slaughtered, Armenia must be made defenseless.” For those who have eyes to see... https://davekopel.org/NRO/Genocide-resistance-Armenia.html

 

All due respect…. First, ALL firearms are assault weapons. In the hands of a criminal, even the little.22 pistol will kill someone. The lie of the left seeks to distinguish one weapon from another. Second, the military is controlled by the government, the very institution, when corrupted by tyranny that WE the people need to defend ourselves against. The precise reason we maintain our #2A right to all weapons. #NeverForget #ArmenianGenocide.

 

Countries That Have Banned Assault-Style Firearms

  • Both Australia and New Zealand instituted buyback programs as part of their gun control measures. Thousands of weapons were collected in both countries.
  • Australia has had no mass shooting attacks on the scale of the 1996 Port Arthur massacre since subsequent gun control measures were enacted.
  • The EU's gun laws do not include an outright ban on some of the most lethal semiautomatic weapons, including the popular AK-47 Kalashnikov.
  • The U.S. enacted an assault-style weapons ban in 1994, but it expired ten years later and was not renewed by Congres

About Thessaloniki, the "Jerusalem of the Balkans"

By
 Via Social Media - Facebook post: Thessaloniki, often called the “Jerusalem of the Balkans,” was once home to one of the largest Jewish communities in the world. After the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492, thousands of Sephardic Jews settled in the city under Ottoman rule. By the early 17th century, around 1613, Jews made up nearly 68% of Thessaloniki’s population, shaping its economy, scholarship, and cultural identity. The city became a hub of Jewish printing, trade, and religious life, with synagogues and schools flourishing across its neighborhoods. Over the centuries, however, the community’s dominance began to wane. Fires, shifting trade routes, and political changes gradually altered the city’s demographics. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Jews remained a vital part of Thessaloniki but no longer held a majority. The most devastating blow came during World War II, when Nazi occupation led to the deportation of more than 45,000 Jews to Auschwitz. Few survived, ...
