"The Caribbean Project for Justice and Peace asked Tuesday that the public be 'very critical' of the controversy about the legalization of the manufacture, sale and distribution of weapons."
"Wanda Colon, spokeswoman for the pacifist organization established in 1973, said that the manufacture of weapons and semiautomatic guns goes against the call for gun control that has been made world wide."
"'The increase in the number of human lives lost to armed violence is clear evidence that firearms are out of control,' she stated in a press release."
"'The global call is for governments to act firmly to control the illegal trafficking of guns and reduce their availability, in order to guarantee the protections of our cities and build safer communities,' she added." ... -------
KABA Note: According to figures compiled by R.J. Rummel, governments killed 169,202,000 of their citizens (not counting wars) in the 20th century. So when you get that knock on the door at midnight, will Ms. Colon protect you? |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so. Indeed I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order. — Adolf Hitler, April 11, 1942. (Source: "Hitler's Table-Talk at the Fuehrer's Headquarters 1941-1942", Dr. Henry Picker, ed. (Athenaeum Verlag, Bonn, 1951).) |
