It’s been done in country after country and the result has always been the same. Despotic rulers rise and force the yoke of government upon the people.

George Mason, the Father of the Bill of Rights, warned: “To disarm the people…was the best & most effectual way to enslave them.”
He was right more than 2 centuries ago and is still right today.
How important were firearms in throwing off tyranny, simply look to the lessons that our first president George Washington had taught:
“Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the people’s liberty teeth.”
This is why Americans are armed. Lesson learned.
