- I have a problem with this. Ban self-defense? Very Hindu, and not at all
- apart of Haudanasanee tradition.
-
- This bothers me. I would hope that people will do this voluntarily, and
- not force their beliefs on others.

- Quite honestly, in the 19th C most of the Peoples were forcibly disarmed
- by the government so that whites could rape, rob and kill us without risk
- to themselves. Girls from the Plains Peoples were stolen, raped, and made
- into slaves in cheap Denver brothels. This worked so well that governments
- then began to pass the first gun laws to effect other humans. They banned
- Blacks and Asians from having weapons so that they too could be raped,
- robbed and murdered more easily by the whites.
-
- Social consciousness is a nice idea, but it is asking to much trust from
- non-whites to be disarmed under a white government. As late as the 1950s
- traditional religions were illegal; and the state of Oregon has decided that
- members of the Native American Church (a Pan-Native religion) can be denied
- employment.
