prepared their own fall. ? This quote was said by
the ruler of Germany, Adolph Hitler, during the
Edict of March 18, 1938. He realized that the
people were violent, and allowing them to carry
arms would be disastrous. Today, in America
handgun violence is at an astronomical high.
Statistics prove that...

odd shade of gray that seems to change every time
you look at it. Everything in life is driven by
something that is inherent in most people, greed.
