A
LITTLE GUN HISTORY
(from

It has now been 2 years since gun
owners in Australia
were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by
their own government, a program costing Australia
taxpayers more than $500 million dollars.
The first
year results are now in:
List of 7 items:
Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent
Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6
percent Australia-wide, armed
robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44
percent)!
In the state of Victoria alone,
homicides with firearms are now up 300
percent. Note that while the
law-abiding citizens turned them in, the
criminals did not, and criminals still
possess their guns!
While figures over the previous 25
years showed a steady decrease in
armed robbery with firearms, this
has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since criminals now are
guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.
There has also been a dramatic
increase in break- ins and assaults of the
ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at
a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort
and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns. The
Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens
save lives and property and, yes,
gun-control laws adversely affect only
the law-abiding citizens.
Take note my fellow Americans, before
it's too late!
The next time someone talks in favor
of gun control, please remind
them of this history lesson.
With guns, we are 'citizens'.
Without them, we are 'subjects'.
During WWII
the Japanese decided not to invade America because they
knew most Americans were ARMED!
