If Necessary Daily News Worldwide columnist Peter March speaks out about the Canadian government's gun grab. Hence, we should not let the government know who has guns, who has the ammunition. The government should not be allowed to know what kind of guns are out there - nor how, nor when, nor where they might be brought together to form a citizen army. Political freedom is only secured by genuine power, and such power is ultimately secured only by force. For where a citizenry loses the ability to counter government force with an adequate force of it's own, it loses the ultimate guarantee of it's freedoms and rights.
Human freedom is always and only, threatened by other humans who are prepared to use force.
Against this threat, a wise citizenry will retain sufficient power to fight back, to fight any government that threatens it's freedoms. The prime minister asks why we allow the registration of pets but are unwilling to register our guns. The answer is that we do not rely on cats and dogs for our freedom. Guns, however, are the essential tool of power, they are the fundamental tool of self-defence. The government knows that and keeps a good supply for itself.
