Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

This is the introductory quote to the dramatic documentary, Innocents Betrayed, recently released by Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership.

Unlike Michael Moore's crockumentary, Bowling for Columbine, Innocents Betrayed contains actual footage, photographs, and historic facts that demonstrates a definitive link between "gun control", firearm confiscation, and genocide.

The film covers nine examples that all followed a specific pattern, or recipe for disaster. The countries include: Ottoman Turkey, Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, China (Nationalist and Communist), Guatemala, Uganda, Cambodia, and Rwanda. In many cases the groundwork for people control was constructed years in advance by requiring firearm licenses and government reporting of firearm sales. The next ingredient was the identification and ostracization of a specific group of people within the society. In the United States we call this racism.

Once the "enemy" has been identified total bans on firearms are introduced and enforced. Confiscation is enforced. Genocide ensues.

By murdering a select group of the population, a crazed dictator or regime can now control the whole of the defenseless population without any real threat of opposition.

An excess of 50 million people suffered torture, indigation, mutiliation, and murder at the hands of governments gone out of control. An excess of 50 million people - gone.

And the United States is not immune. As a nation, acts of organized racism and genocide remains an ugly part of our history. A history we have struggled to correct for future generations, so that all Americans can engage in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Unfortunately, many Americans have been denied the right to self defense due to our existing firearms laws. Specific examples include Suzanna Gratia-Hupp, the Carpenter family, and the victims of the 9-11 hijackings. There are additional examples, however, and the list grows longer every day. We are not immune to the disastrous effects of "gun control."

Innocents Betrayed is a must-see for all Americans, regardless of their opinion, or lack thereof, on firearms. The film will educate, shock, and inspire a deeper understanding of the importance of actively preserving our liberties, especially our right to defense and firearm ownership.

Political power is out of the barrel of a gun.
