Note the report in column 6: "Estonians To Give Up Arms" |
(Of course one of the first actions to be taken by the communists (and all totalitarians) after the invasion of a country was to confiscate all the private firearms. A modern example can be found in Afghanistan where it was reported on Aug. 18, 2021 that the Taliban was "collecting" guns and ammo from the civilian population. This after the
disastrous
pull-out of U.S. forces initiated by Joe Biden. Reuters, citing a Taliban official, reported that the group said people in the city will "no longer need to hold onto their weapons because they no longer need personal protection." Unarmed civilians can't fight back. That is one of the reasons that we in the United States have a second amendment right to own guns, regardless of what the left, socialists, communists and the democrat party think or tell you. Without the right to own firearms, what Thomas Jefferson said is a moot point.
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.") |
