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.


Cambodia established
gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people,
unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and
exterminated.


Defenseless
people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of
gun control: 56
million.


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:

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.

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’.

During WWII the Japanese
decided not to invade America because
they knew most Americans were ARMED!

If you
value your freedom, please spread this anti-gun control message to
all of your friends.

The
purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in
defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is
more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else
is supplemental.

SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY
HOUSEHOLD A GUN! SWITZERLAND ‘S
GOVERNMENT TRAINS
EVERY ADULT
THEY ISSUE A RIFLE. SWITZERLAND HAS
THE LOWEST
GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE
WORLD!!!

IT’S
A NO BRAINER! DON’T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR
TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN
EASY TARGET.

Very interesting statistics!

That’s why I am heartened (is that a word?) by gun sales being through the roof since November. The people will be ready. (Some of us, at least)
