The Genocide Chart

[WillBrink]

Jews For Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO) has a "genocide chart" that's a nice summary of the strategy used by each government and the genocide that followed. An over simplification of cause and effect perhaps, but still interesting. However, I don't know the accuracy of the chart, so stop short of saying everyone (pro and con) should use this chart. Anyone comment on its accuracy? The anti gun types will simply invent data and facts to fit their agenda, but we need to be better then that in my view:

The JPFO documentary, Innocents Betrayed, does a great job of putting it all together. The number of people who've been killed by governments is mind-numbing.

If you want to borrow it, let me know, I'll drop it in the mail this week. Unless you're on a beach in Panama

One thing we know is true: one is statistically far more likely to be murdered by their own government than invading military or criminals historically speaking. A stat most unwilling and unable to accept or fathom.

Just returned to the US as of yesterday from a 3 month stay in Panama.

I've seen that chart before Will, and because I was aware of the content in general before seeing it, it wasn't eye opening for me. As far as the stats go, who knows exactly? We do know that the genocides happened, and that they occurred with heavily oppressive regimes.

You are right to question specifics. To me the absolute worst thing you can do for your cause is start disseminating info. that is either not true, or can't be backed up, for the sake of that cause. That should be the defining difference between conservatives and liberals, since one side usually has a conscious concerning truth. Sadly that is not always the case.

I have not found conservatives any better than liberals at inventing facts and data as a means to an end for their agenda(s). I'd prefer to narrow it down to the defining difference between supporters of 2A and those clearly not. I don't find inventing data/facts remotely unique to liberals.

The Soviet figure is way too low.

A good read on this subject is Lethal Politics by R.J. Rummel.

Soon coming to the U.S.A. Hillary 2016

I would not doubt that.

The GOP seems content to marginalize it's TEA Party/Libertarian wing - the only end of its party that has any energy. They seem content with not repealing Obamacare, amnesty for illegals and would probably sign on to another nation-building exercise like Iraq again if asked.

Besides, the left controls the media and the messaging. When you control the messaging...you control the election.

2016 is pretty much her cake walk into the Oval Office if you ask me.

I wish things were different...but they certainly are not.

Agreed 100%.
