In each of these cases, the government turned evil and murdered its own defenseless citizens. In nations where citizens widely owned firearms, by contrast, there were no such mass killings. No gun control group s statistics about accidental shootings or sporadic criminal violence can possibly compare with genocide. Mouthing the fatal language of British Prime Minister Chamberlain s pre-war compromise with Adolf Hitler s Nazi aggression, the Resolution calls for peace for this generation. The PC-USA would have to be willfully blind to advocate a policy whose consequences paved the way to wholesale human slaughter.
Naked racism is the dirty little secret of American gun control laws.
Now, under the 1998 Resolution, PC-USA wants these citizens totally disarmed. As it is not politically correct nowadays to teach the historical truth about the racist origins of gun control laws, it is quite possible that PC-USA leaders did not know these facts. Perhaps they did not know that disarming innocent Black people was the goal of gun control. Now that they know, however, these leaders should renounce their gun control stance. They have no excuse for continuing the legacy of slavery and civil rights abuses by advancing the cause of gun control.
