“All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”

(from “The Perpetuation of Our Political Institutions: Address Before the Young Men’s Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois” January 27, 1838)

“A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. ” — Ariel Durant

I love history. Those who do not learn from History’s mistakes will repeat it.

The correct targets are the entertainment industry and the advertisers who use violence to attract attention to their products and to benefit financially from increased sales.

They try to demonize certain firearms, e.g. “assault rifles”and “large capacity magazines” and to disarm the law-abiding public, without considering the consequences: MORE CRIME. The assault rifles in use in 1776 were about four feet long, single shot black powder smoothbore single shot muzzle loaders and some had bayonets attached.

The AR-15 in 5.56 mm calibre was adopted during the Vietnamese War, so the troops could carry more ammunition than the M1 Garand rifle in .30-’06 calibre. The AR-15 in various models is the current combat rifle of the United States and millions of U.S. servicemen and women have been trained with it.

If guns are outlawed, only criminals will have guns!

Greetings comrades. Our dear leader Xi Jinping of the Peoples Republic of China has sent President Obama his condolences on the Newtown massacre and heartily endorses an all out ban of all firearms in the U.S. immediately by executive action.

To achieve the same Utopian society in America that we now enjoy in China this can only be achieved by first outlawing all private ownership of firearms. Only then can the U.S. government then implement new laws that will result in a more ordered State.

After the gun confiscation the U.S. should, like China implement strict guidelines for the news media which should be required to work closely with the governments rules of media conduct and content.

All public meetings and gatherings should be first cleared with local party officials.

Re-election of the president should not be limited to only 8 years as the vast experience of a president should not be waisted by term limits. Our dear leader should have the right to be re-elected indefinitely.

It should be recalled that it was the American Communist party that brought such glorious social change such as Social Security, aide to education, and the new glorious National Health Care System. We, your Chinese brothers and Comrades stand by ready to help you implement the “New American Communist” Utopian Society of the 21st Century.

Gung Ho!
