Progressive social engineers want to annihilate our right to have firearms. Four Muslims with boxcutters killed nearly 3,000 Americans. Should boxcutters be legal? Each year, 500,000 Americans are killed by doctor-prescribed drugs. Should we ban doctors?

Criminologists estimate that several hundred thousand times a year, firearms are used to protect against criminals without even firing a shot — events the media never report. Why is the media biased against guns?

One-worlders are exploiting the Newtown shootings to disarm Americans. Don't let fearmongering progressives enslave our country by using the Newtown crisis. Remember the millions of innocent citizens worldwide who were slaughtered by their own governments after they gave up their God-given right to protect themselves.

Don't fear firearms; fear governments!
