Gun History

After reading the following historical facts, read the part

about Switzerland twice.

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY

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 programme costing Australian 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 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 South Africans and citizens of the world, before it's too late!

The next time someone talks in favour 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 TO WHOM 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 YOUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF YOUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.

Just think how powerful your government is getting!

They think these other countries just didn't do it right.

Learn from history.

This has been repeated a couple time on the forum,
however it is still very relevant.
