What
killed the most unarmed
men,
women and children in the 20th Century?
Not
street crime.
Not
war.
Not
terrorist attacks.
The
biggest killer was government -- government killing its own population.
Professor R.J. Rummel, one of the world's authorities
on genocide, conservatively estimated that governments murdered 170,000,000
people in that century. That amount averages more than the terrorist death
toll of September 11, 2001, every day for 100 years.
A 911
every day for 100 years. Every day for 100 years, 4658 people dead
at the hands of their government. 170 Million DEAD because they were disarmed.
Putting a human face on these grisly statistics comes the new documentary
film,
Innocents
Betrayed. The film shows how genocide and
mass murder could destroy so many lives in nations all over the world.
In every case, the victims were disarmed by ideas and laws that discouraged
private self-defense. When the people lacked the power to resist, then
organized killing could proceed with little difficulty.
Photos, footage, facts and figures in the the film make a powerful case
that civilians should never relinquish their power to governments, no matter
what promises those governments make. From Turkey to Germany, from Guatemala
to Uganda, the film shows the disastrous effects of civilian disarmament.
The United States cannot claim to be "different" or immune from these effects.
Slavery existed because a whole race of people was kept unarmed and powerless.
Other mass murders, including the September 11 attack, became possible
because the victims were defenseless.
Seeing the horrific effects of civilian disarmament, it is hard to understand
how anyone would want a country that arms its government agents but disarms
its citizens. Those who favor "gun control," for example, should explain
why they want to discourage private firearms ownership. All of the "sensible
gun laws" operate to make private firearms ownership more difficult, inconvenient,
expensive, embarrassing or legally risky.
"Gun
control" advocates never propose expanding the number of decent people
who own firearms.
As the Innocents Betrayed film graphically shows, concentrating power in
the hands of government while reducing the power of the people sets the
stage for unbelievable human misery. Violent crime remains a serious problem
that harms thousands of people, but victim disarmament kills
millions. The right to armed, self-defense is the solution, not the
problem. "Gun control" -- the idea that decent people really do not need
and should not have firearms -- must be rejected as both immoral and dangerous.
You
have never seen anything like Innocents Betrayed. This story has never
been told in a documentary film.
Sit
and watch for just 58 minutes. You'll see the photos, the footage, the
people, the faces. You'll read the laws and hear the proclamations. You'll
witness just enough horror to understand how easy it is for armed killers
to slaughter the disarmed, the powerless, the innocents.
Genocide examples from all over the world: Russia, China, Germany, Cambodia,
Guatemala, Uganda, Rwanda and more. Examples showing how disarmed people
in America have suffered persecution, mass murder, slavery, and
terrorist attacks.
A fast-moving, modern production, Innocents
Betrayed presents the entirely true accounts
of how civilian disarmament made possible the killing of millions. The
point is made sharply, clearly, unforgettably.
