GunControl

This is just another example of the so-called liberal "logic" when it comes to their plan to slowly erode away our liberites to the point where we have none left. Know this- I am NOT a hunter nor do I own a single gun. I am not a pacifist or treehugger by any stretch of the imagination, just never really got into the whole hunting/shooting thing. That's another story. The point is this, as a US citizen who LOVES the constitution and everything it stands for, I will staunchly defend my right and the right of every American citizen to have as many guns as they want. The framers of the Constitution thought highly enough of our right to bear arms in self defense they put that right second only to the single greatest right we as Americans have- free speech. An unarmed population will be unable to defend itself from the tyranny of government, and I am afraid if Obamoron and his cronies get what they want, we will be powerless to stop them. So think about this, share it with every left-wing moron you can find, and keep fighting the good fight.

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY

• In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.


• In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.


• Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.


• China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.


• Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.


• Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

The Austrailia Experiment

It has now been 12 months 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:

• 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.

In Summary

You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information. 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'.
