Mandal ji Election Commission will have spine only as good as the spine of citizens. The spine of citizens was broken on the day when explicit enumeration of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms was removed from our Constitution. Citizens did not then had the spine or the brain to ask the Constitutent Assembly as to why this conspiracy was being done by removing RKBA from our Constitution by our so called LEGENDS.
The possession of arms by the people is the ultimate warrant that government governs only with the consent of the governed. Laws disarming honest citizens proclaim that the government is the master, not the servant, of the people. One of the ordinary modes, by which tyrants accomplish their purposes without resistance, is, by disarming the people, and making it an offense to keep arms. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.
Americans have the will to resist because you have weapons. If you don't have a gun, freedom of speech has no power. -- Yoshimi Ishikawa, Japanese author, in the LA Times 15 Oct 1992
The disarming of citizens has a double effect, it palsies the hand and brutalizes the mind: a habitual disuse of physical forces totally destroys the moral force; and men lose at once the power of protecting themselves, and of discerning the cause of their oppression. -- Joel Barlow, "Advice to the Privileged Orders", 1792-93
The people of the various provinces are strictly forbidden to have in their possession any swords, short swords, bows, spears, firearms, or other types of arms. The possession of unnecessary implements makes difficult the collection of taxes and dues and tends to foment uprisings. -- Toyotomi Hideyoshi, dictator of Japan, August 1588
