GUN CONTROL HALL OF FAME

Adolph Hitler was the National SOCIALIST Leader and Reich Chancellor of Nazi Germany. During his horrific 12 year rule he was responsible for unleashing the bloodiest war to ever scourge mankind. Like all good socialists, Hitler consolidated and sustained his power by killing anyone who opposed him. In addition he commanded his minions to carry out the most widespread racial genocide ever perpetrated. By applying the practices of the industrial assembly line, some 6 million Jews and 8 million other "subhumans" were gassed and cremated in extermination camps which were constructed for no other purpose. In addition, uncounted millions of Jews, Gypsies, Russian POW's, Jehovah's witnesses, "terrorists", "criminals", "partisans", Christians, slavs, and others were shot, hanged, beaten to death, starved to death, worked to death, marched to death and perished in disease epidemics. The death toll attributed to his regime can never be truely known but most experts estimate about 20 million killed for their racial identity or personal beliefs. This is in addition to the 50 million who perished as a direct result of military operations in the European war. Photos of the first Million Mom March sponsored by the Third Reich

Communist Party Chairman and founder of the People's Republic of China. Mao Tse-Tung has the ghastly distinction of being listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as the greatest mass murderer in human history. Because Red China was, and is, such a closed society, estimates of the numbers of those put death in order to bring the benefits of socialism to the masses vary considerably. Most figures are consistently between 40 million and 80 million. While mass killings of "enemies of the state" were apparently not as widespread as they were during the earlier years of his despotic rule, they do include the great slaughter of the "Cultural Revolution" which may have numbered a half million "counter-revolutionaries".

This extremely rare photograph of Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot was taken at a jungle camp in Cambodia in 1993. After America deserted its allies in the Vietnam war, the domino effect swept socialism to power in Cambodia. Pol Pot quickly distinguished himself among his socialist bretheren by wiping from the face of the earth fully one-third of Cambodia's population. Proclaimed the "Absolute Leader", he reset the calender to "Year Zero",outlawed mail, money and marrige, depopulated all cities and towns to the countryside and slaughtered over 2 million people in just 3 years. Had his socialist rule not been ended by a Vietmanese land grab in 1976, he might have ended up killing all the Cambodian people; an outcome which would doubtlessly please United Nations population control experts.

Joseph Stalin has well earned his place in history as one of the most bloodthirsty socialist tyrants who ever lived. Stalin simply picked up were Lenin left off, exterminating not only those who opposed his plans, but also those THOUGHT capable of opposition. Mass executions, artificially created famines, slave labor and death camps, forced migrations of whole racial and ethnic groups are among the expedients devised to slaughter between 40 million and 100 million human beings. Such totals do not include the 20 million who were killed during WWII. Victor Suvorov, a Red Army officer, wrote a book called "Inside the Soviet Army". In it, he cites demographic studies which show that the then extant USSR should have had 100 million more people than it did. Where did they all go? With socialism in power during that time, it isn't hard to figure out.

While the present United States government has not yet committed genocide on the scale of the great tyrannies of the past, important preparations are being made by the Obama administration in the following areas:

POLITICAL: A War on Drugs (read: a war on the Constitution), asset forfeiture laws, police checkpoints, no-knock search warrants, government regulations even lawyers can't understand, confiscatory tax rates, criminalizing free speech. The list is endless.

ORGANIZATIONAL: The militarization of law enforcement. New military training stressing the need to deal "domestic terrorism" and "insurrection". The effective gutting of the Possee Commitaus Act allowing the military to participate in domestic law enforcement. The Multi-jurisdictional Task Force which coordinates such activities. The government murders at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, the Waco Massacre. Too much to list here.

PROPAGANDA: The demonizing of patriots and constitutionalists as "racists", "extremists", and "terrorists". The socialist slant of the "news media".

"Our task of creating a Socialist America can only succeed when those who would resist us have been totally disarmed."

Sarah Brady, Chairman, Handgun Control Inc.Source: The National Educator, January 1994, Pg.3

History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subjected peoples to carry arms have prepared their own fall.

--- Adolf Hitler, Edict of 18 March 1939

And we should -- then every community in the country could then start doing major weapon sweeps and then destroying the weapons, not selling them.

--- Bill Clinton, President, sworn defender of the U.S. Constitution

I'm convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We're going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily -- given the political realities -- going to be very modest. Of course, it's true that politicians will then go home and say, 'This is a great law. The problem is solved.' And it's also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time. So then we'll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we'd be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal -- total control of handguns in the United States -- is going to take time. My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of *all* handguns and *all* handgun ammunition -- except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors -- totally illegal.

--- Pete Shields, Chairman, Handgun Control Inc.

"A Reporter At Large: Handguns", _The New Yorker_, July 26, 1976, 57-58]

(Note: Pete Shields was the founder of HCI and its first Chairman.)

When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans ...And so a lot of people say there's too much personal freedom. When personal freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit it. That's what we did in the announcement I made last weekend on the public housing projects, about how we're going to have weapon sweeps and more things like that to try to make people safer in their communities.

--- President Bill Clinton, 3-22-94, MTV's "Enough is Enough"

You don't have many suspects who are innocent of a crime. That's contradictory. If a person is innocent of a crime, then he is not a suspect.

--- Edwin Meese III, Attorney General in the Reagan Administration

We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans...

---Bill Clinton, USA Today, 11 March 1993, pg. 2a

Gun Registration is not enough

---Janet Reno, 10 Dec 1993

Waiting periods are only a step. Registration is only a step. The prohibition of private firearms is the goal.

---Janet Reno

The NRA...was right all along in fearing the waiting period was a camel's nose under the tent. Brady has now passed and it is time to reveal the rest of the camel!

--- Handgun Control Inc., (HCI) President Richard Aborn (Dec. 8, 1993), Cleveland Plain Dealer.

What good does it do to ban some guns. All guns should be banned

---Senator Howard Metzanbaum (D-OH)

This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!

---Adolph Hitler, 15 April 1935, in address to the Reichstag

" We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans."
--Bill Clinton, USA TODAY, March 11, 1993

--Sen. Charles Schumer, NBC Nightly News, November 30,1993

"Mr. speaker, I still believe that the best way to control handguns is to ban them outright."
--Rep. Cardiss Collins

"...I also think you should not buy a gun anywhere...."
--Rosie O'donnel

"I know it's in the Constitution, but you know what, ENOUGH! I would like to say, and I know it will sound extreme, but that no one can have a gun in the U.S., if you have a gun, you go to jail. Only the police and military should have guns, it's ridculous!
--Rosie O'donnel

"Our cause has been aided by the deaths of all these children in all these schools, and in other settings."
--Bill Clinton, April 12, 2000 as reported by the Rocky Mountain News.

"I honestly think, and I am not an expert on the amendments, I think the only people in this nation who should be allowed to own guns are police officers. I don't care if you want to hunt, I don't care if you think it's your right. I say, "Sorry!". It is 1999, we have had enough as a nation. You are not allowed to own a gun and if you do own a gun, I think you should go to prison."
--Rosie O'donnel (4/21/99)

"The American people MUST be willing to give up a degree of personal privacy in exchange for safety and security."
--Louis Freeh, Director of the FBI, 1993

--Rep Will Clay

"Handguns should be outlawed"
--Elliot Corbett, Secretary, National Council for a Responsible firearms policy

"My experience as a street cop suggests that most merchants should not have guns. But I feel stronger about the average person having them..most homeowners..simply have no need to own guns."
-- Joseph McNamara, HCI spokesman, and former Chief of Police of San Jose, California.

" I will introduce legislation banning the sale, manufacture or possession of hand guns execpt in a few cases"
-- Sen John Chaffe

"Ultimately, I would like to see the manufacture and possession of handguns banned except for military and police. But that's the endgame."
--US Rep Bobby Rush, Chicago Tribune, December 5, 1999

The only way to discourage the gun culture is to remove the guns from the hands and shoulders of people who are not in the law enforcement business.
-- New Your Times, September 24, 1975

The goal is an ultimate ban on all guns, but we also have to take a step at a time and go for limited access first.
--Joyner Sims, Florida State Health Dept., deputy commissioner
Chicago Tribune, November 7, 1993

"Let us take the guns away from the people. Exemptions should be limited to the military, the police and those licensed for good and sufficient reasons.
