(NaturalNews) The reports are absolutely true. Facebook suspended the Natural News account earlier today after we posted an historical quote from Mohandas Gandhi. The quote reads:

"Among the many misdeeds of British rule in India, history will look upon the Act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest." - Mohandas Gandhi, an Autobiography, page 446.

"The reports are absolutely true." This was a red flag for me.

I don't know what happened, though I do know that Mike Adams and Natural News is often, at the least, a sensationalist, and at the worst, almost completely full of shit.

I do not trust Mike Adams at all, nor Facebook.

Might it be Sandy Hook Conspiracy Stuff?

They seem to have some of that content on their site (didn't dig too far). They've shut down other conspiracy nuts recently ;)

Interesting

I am not quite sure what Facebook is using to scan posts, or if someone just turns you in. As I posted that exact same Gandhi quote and the ones below as well several times. I just got so tired of trying to have a debate about gun control with so many brainless people, I just started posting those 3 quotes. Any you know what, they still don't get it, would argue back against the quotes. I fear those people as they are so unbelievably brain washed. Anyway, wondering when Facebook will go after me?

If the government does not trust me to own firearms, why or how can the people be expected to trust the government? There is no doubt in my mind that millions of lives could have been saved if the people were not "brainwashed" about gun ownership and had been well armed.

1935 will go down in history! For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient and the world will follow our lead into the future!

- Adolph Hitler, 1935.

I agree

The Hitler quote is really good. If I were a zillionaire I would buy airtime on every network and repeatedly play that quote with Hitler's image. Maybe add some old "After" images for effect.
