Mao Tse-Tung said that. In the United States today the citizens have power (guns). This power is used to support and defend the Constitution and to suppress crime. Obama wants to take that power away. He doesn't want to waste the crisis of the horrible massacre in Connecticut, so he is pushing for "gun control". A phrase that means what ever you want it to mean. Taking guns away from citizens takes power away from citizens, leaving them defenseless against government force and criminals.
Obama is talking about an "assault weapons" ban. Trouble is, there are no objective differences between "assault weapons" and pretty much any kind of gun. So banning "assault weapons" really means banning nearly everything that shoots. And that's what Obama wants to do.
It is not true that some guns are more deadly than other guns. All guns are deadly. The Connecticut shooter would have killed as many no matter what kind of gun he used. We cannot improve public safety by banning the more deadly kind of guns, because all guns are deadly.
I am not prepared to give up the power that arms represent merely because the "gun control" people are dancing in the blood shed in Connecticut.
