Ghandi on Guns

Mohandas Ghandi, who peacefully resisted British rule in India during the early part of the 20th century understood what arms mean to the common man.    More recently, Natural News had the temerity to quote Ghandi, and Facebook deleted their page, claiming it violated "community guidelines".  What was the quote?
"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.
Natural News goes farther, saying:
We have entered the era of the Ministry of Truth from George Orwell's 1984 novel. And while Facebook assaults the First Amendment in America, Senator Feinstein is busy assaulting the Second.
Heh!
