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!
It will never happen here? I bet the
Aussies said that too!
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 him of this history lesson.
With Guns...........We Are
'Citizens'.
Without Them........We Are
'Subjects'.
During W..W.II the Japanese decided not to
invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!
Note: Admiral Yamamoto who crafted the
attack on Pearl Harbor had attended Harvard U 1919-1921
& was Naval Attache to the U. S. 1925-28. Most of our
Navy was destroyed at Pearl Harbor & our Army had been
deprived of funding & was ill prepared to defend the
country.
It was reported that when asked why Japan
did not follow up the Pearl Harbor attack with an invasion
of the U. S. Mainland, his reply was that he had lived in
the U. S. & knew that almost all households had guns.
If you value your freedom, Please spread
this anti-gun control message to all your friends
old news. Won't help none to talk about it. When gov. decides to do it, nothing we say is going to matter. That old saying "ACTION speaks louder...." does come to mind, though

I couldn't disagree more. Sit and do nothing and Politicians then make their decisions on the information they have at hand. Voice your opinion and at least your wishes have a chance of being fulfilled.
It was just about a year ago our state governor wanted to mine coal at a fish and wildlife area. When they had the public hearings and heard the stiff opposition they backed off that idea real quick. If they stop hearing the opposition they will do as they please.
First I would like to say that the majority of the countries are communist Countries within the time frame you state. If you want to compare the U.S. with communist countries, then maybe you should think about relocating, because last time I checked, we were a Democracy. If you are upset about the recent election of our President, then you are a republican. If you check some of your "stats", like the Australian Gun Ban, you would realize that none of the information you have stated is even close to accurate (I'll attach the facts, so you don't get 12 months and 11 years confused). Needless to say, if you are seriously concerned about gun control in the U.S. taking away your 12 gauge shotgun, you have too much time on your hands. You should be more concerned about the state of the economy that "W" got us into.

Why so angry? I should relocate if i don't like it here? Gee what I like about here is our freedoms. I am trying to keep one of those freedoms. A republican? No I am a registered Democrat. The information on Austrailia is accurate. I have talked with people that live there and they say crime is so bad they don't go out at night.
What does the economy and gun control have in common? Yes our economy has been better and will be better again. It won't be Washington that pulls us through though. Economy runs in cycles.
I apologize if I sounded angry, I'm just tired of people trying to stir up things they think the new President is going to do, or do away with. It's hard to explain to people that you have to give him a chance before saying he is going to take away our guns, raise our taxes, and so forth. I just reacted to the post as an attack towards Obama, so I apologize, I see that you were just stating the statistics that take place once gun control is enforced. Sorry for the confusion.
Gun Control is hitting, what you are shooting at.
im not big in to politics and i maybe wrong but didnt clinton and reagan sign some kinda of free trade agrement letting all the jobs and stuff be shipped out of the usa so it didnt just start with bush it started a while ago the phrases "poop rolls down hill" and " history repeats it self" fits good in this case ....but on the other hand mabey obama will do us right and not do us more harm im willing to give him a chance i just wish me was pro gun lolYou should be more concerned about the state of the economy that "W" got us into.
thanks Crappie Josh aka C.J.
always ready to go fishing
Very true but people here still vote for the left wing that wants gun control.
