When did that happen and what is an assault weapon?

Our Founding Fathers knew a government can't take away the peoples Rights until you disarm them. That simple statement has been true throughout history and true today the world over. In countries such as North Korea, China, Thailand, Malaysia, Turkey, Iran, Jordan, Morocco, Bahrain, Lebanon, Poland, Italy, Norway, Denmark, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Canada, South Africa and many more, a person can be imprisoned for criticizing the government.

A well armed citizenry can only be pushed so far, as we saw on April 19, 1775 in our country. A government can't enslave it's well armed people, as stated July 4, 1776. A well armed society will draw a line that can't be crossed. That is the only failsafe for a free society. Every holocaust in history was preceded by disarming the people who became the focus of that holocaust. History teaches us valuable lessons.
