I received this in an email this past week. Those of you who study this issue might want to review this and tell us whether these are hard facts. If so, we have a lot to worry about in regard to Nancy Pelosi’s agenda regarding the eventual confiscation of firearms from law abiding citizens in the US. Make no mistake about it. Registration is the first step..

...”A LITTLE GUN HISTORY

Most importantly note the difference between Australia and Switzerland at the bottom of this.

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

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:

1: Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent.
2: Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent..
3: 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 as
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’re ‘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 TAXDOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.

I’m a firm believer of the 2nd Amendment! If you are too, please forward”...

forwarded it but this needs to be made into an AD for the TV as that reading is frightening

remember foreign problems are nothing but an interference to his domestic policy
he has funded his army ACORN with our money

even the tea parties now are being demonstrated against by these paid loonies

remember he said he wanted a millions civilian security force to match that of the military

why has not on person asked this and what he meant by it?

with guns out of the way except for criminals the we are powerless

do not forget that some gun owners actually voted for this buffoon, they are the ones who should have had their guns taken away as they seem unable to see logic what so ever
