Abusers and oppressors will rejoice the death of the Second Amendment

Thank you my second-amendment advocate friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the perspective from The Hill contributor Tina Ramirez [Tina Ramirez is the Virginia chair of Maggie’s List and was a candidate for Congress in Virginia’s 7th district. She is the president of Hardwired Global, a human rights organization and was the founding director of the bipartisan International Religious Freedom Caucus in Congress.]

Sen. Ted Cruz defends the 2nd Amendment

I general I concur with Tina Ramirez assessment
I pasted the following from the web article.
"As a group of House Democrats pushed the presidential action on gun control, a group of House Democrats are pushing the Senate to vote on House-passed gun control bills. In either case, the result would be dangerous and make Americans more vulnerable. When the right to keep and bear arms is suppressed by a government, the doors to oppression and abuse are opened. I know, because I’ve seen it.
Hardwired, the global human rights organization I founded, fights against the oppression of religious communities of all faiths in countries around the world. Among these countries is Nigeria, where Fulani herdsmen have been waging a war against Christian farmers for the past decade, but in recent years it's grown much worse. The Fulani herdsmen are attacking farmland throughout the region to force Christian farmers out of the area and take over their land. The attacks typically increase in the spring and are carried out with AK-47s and machetes. "

....
"Condoleeza Rice has described herself as a “Second Amendment absolutist”. She explained that growing up in the late 50s and early 60s in Birmingham, Ala., her father and his friends would deter the Ku Klux Klan members that came into her neighborhood by firing their guns in the air. She astutely noted that had “Bull” Connor knew where the guns were, he surely would have rounded them up. Even in America, the Second Amendment has been crucial to the self-defense of those who have not always been protected by the government. It’s astonishing that we would consider taking this away. "

We must be sure that doesn’t happen.

We can't let that happen
