A LITTLE GUN HISTORY

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:

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 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 are 'subjects'.

During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!

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 TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.

This is a stupid post. The "government" is no more going to criminalize gun ownership than the man in the moon. Just another "scare the crap" out of the idoits ploy. Jeeze, when will you Redumblicans came up with something besides scare politics?

How do you spell naive?
If you would educate yourself as to the wording of particular legislation being pushed through congress, you would realize that the government has a goal to rid our society of guns through numerous means. First, they want to make ammo so unafordable through taxation that we will still have the gun but they will only be useful as clubs. Second, they are proposing to force registration of all guns. This would require detailed information as to type, quantity and storage location in your home. If you fail to follow these rules, you will then be a criminal and lose your right to possess firearms. Helluva choice huh? Hide your guns and be a criminal or let big brother know where they are so confiscation during a "national emergency" will be simple. If you do not believe this is possible, read some history books and you will see these same actions and the disastorous results.
You can continue to cover your eyes and pretend this is not happening, but do not expect me to help you when the s&^t hits the fan. Do us all a favor and hammer your legislators to attempt to stop this foolishness before our "right wing paranoid" fears come to pass.

I do not mind being called an idiot by uninformed sheeple.I hope I am wrong,but it does not appear that I am.
You are quick to judge without fact. That places you in the category of idiot. Do some homework and prove me wrong.Or you can just remain in your little utopian world and watch your freedoms disappear.
I will be hammering our elected officials with calls and e-mails to try to save what is left of our country.

OMG! The sky is falling....a black man has been elected President of the United States. Why don't all the racist on this blog call a spade a spade? Seems to me you're the only ones peddleing fear and hate. Why hide it?

Show me one example of any mention of race!!
When you have no facts, you turn to the good old race card. It ain't working here. Our white legislators are more responsible for this mess than the Kenyan president.
You must be the racist since you are the only one who brought it up!!
Grow up, get informed, argue true facts or shut the hell up!!

Obama is supporting the re-implementation of the assault weapon ban.

I won't take them on with a little old .410, I have bigger stuff! I won't even go to them, they will have to come to me, and I just pray that those who come are as dedicated to getting my guns as I am to keeping them. I would feel real bad if I had dead poets all over the place! You see... I don't fear the government like you do and like they hope I will!

BTW - In the book "The West and The Rest" by Roger Scruton, he wrote: "Laws to which the citizen cannot consent are illegitimate, and the state must therefore be maintained in a constant state of vigilance, lest it lose the consent of the citizen and the right to command him."
Needs no further explanation!!!
