Hi.

Thanks for the post. I follow the gun issue very closely and these results, sadly, don't surprise me. We are fighting here in the US against the gun-grabbers and have had a fair amount of success in the last few years.

I know that I'm not alone in hoping that you and our other Aussie friends down under eventually turn things around.

Regards,

I believe this is an urban legend. Snopes collected this e-mail back in 2001.

John R. Lott Jr. has written several books on the subject of gun statistics. He has proven that when concealed carry permits are denied, murder, burglary and rapes increase. When CC permits are given out more freely, crime actually drops in the affected areas.
The leftists don't give a rat's arse for your personal safety or the safety of your family. They only want to disarm law abiding citizens so they (the illiberals) can more easily impose their authoritarian utopia.
