    Default Gun Control


    A little Gun History Lesson

    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:

    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.

    I agree with gone fishing, Here in the county we live in, we have went to public hearing and stood up and it made a big difference!:D

    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.
