	Freedom fighter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Freedom fighter is a relativistic local term for those engaged in rebellion against an established organization that is thought to be oppressive.
		The terms "freedom" and "rebellion" are often confusing, as often both sides in armed conflict claim to represent the popular cause of "freedom".
		The term freedom fighter, while indicating favor of some political group, often does not reflect any actual political position of those fighting--central to this is a dispute over the meaning of freedom itself and whether a group in question can be said to actually fight for the purpose of establishing freedom.

	A STRUGGLE FOR JUSTICE
		It was during this specific historical juncture the armed resistance movement gave birth on the Tamil soil with the determination to fight for political independence from alien domination.
		The armed struggle emerged as a historical development of the Tamil struggle in response to the determined efforts of the Sinhala Government to subjugate the Tamils.
		The Tamils took up arms when they were presented with no alternative other than to defend themselves against a savage form of genocidal oppression, when peaceful forms of democratic political agitations were violently repressed, when constitutional paths and parliamentary doors were effectively closed, when Sinhala ruling elites callously rejected the demands for justice and equality.

		Those things are, of course, important but they miss the real purpose of the right to keep and bear arms, which is to protect against tyranny imposed by federal officials.
		The German citizenry discovered too late the difficulty of regaining freedoms that had been temporarily surrendered to someone who then wields the power to prevent his temporary powers from being relinquished, especially someone who truly believes that such powers are needed to preserve the nation in the midst of crisis.
		Thus, what gun-control advocates and even many gun-rights advocates fail to recognize is that the right to keep and bear arms has less to do with self-defense from criminals and the right to hunt and more to do with the protection of our rights and freedoms.
