An excellent article appeared recently in the National Review Online.
Under the Ottoman Empire, Armenians, who are mostly Christian, had not been allowed to own firearms.

If you support the right to keep and bear arms, you are already making the statement that you oppose genocide. Supporting the Armenian Genocide Resolution is a public statement about what happens when gun-grabbers are given power.
