20 years later, remember 1989. From this thread on Calguns:
Why do I Fight for 2A Rights?
Communism. I’ve seen it, I’ve lived it. I will hate it until the end of my life.
Most of you here say guns in the hands of people can defeat tyrants. Regardless of what you may hear from naysayers and firearms “hobbyists” who will tell you AR’s and AK’s in civilian hands are no match for tanks and machine guns (I remember one such hobbyist posting this here on Calguns), I come before you to tell you that what you believe to be true it is true: on December 22nd 1989 me and thousands of my compatriots we did just that.
We took up arms from the police forces who deserted their units, broke into the Patriotic Guards arms caches (some sort of communist reserve force), joined forces with a few Army units that refused to obey the order to fire upon the civilian population, kicked Ceausescu out of his palace and on Christmas Day 1989 shoot the bastard and his wife dead.

Lefty politicians here remember what happened then, and are not anxious that it happen to them. Hence they suffer from Ceausescus Syndrome, and ardently support gun control, forgetting that in the end, it didn’t do him any good.
I think I need to print and frame this post.

Laughingdog, if you’re commenting from where I think you’re commenting from, and you manage to print and frame it and hang it somewhere on that base, you will have made my week.

I love a story with a happy ending.
