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 Attaché 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!
