After reading the following historical facts, read the part about Switzerland twice.

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!
SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN!
SWITZERLAND'S GOVERNMENT TRAINS AND ISSUES EVERY ADULT A RIFLE.
SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.
DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.

Switzerland issues firearms as a way of arming their civilian militia. It's socialized gun care. Does that mean soicalized health care is a good idea too?
ReplyDeleteNo, Jefferson, socialized gun care would be more comparable to a socialized health care that only works like public education and everyone is being trained as a doctor or nurse and able to diagnose-notice how all adults are given training on weopons use and safety, then I might be for that type of social medicine.
ReplyDeleteI would be for that also
ReplyDeletejefferson, what flavor Kool-Aid today? My guess is lime with a bologna sandwich.
ReplyDeleteJefferson, What part of lowest gun related crime rate do you not understand? If public health care could eliminate illness, I would be for it, but all it will do is make it harder to get medical care.
ReplyDeleteThe failure of the Democrats to pass tort reform is now driving doctors away and causing rationing. If Obamacare passes, you will need a gun to get medical care.
Where is MD_Progressive on this one?
ReplyDeleteSuppose he thinks that only the government jackbooted storm troopers should have guns.
Especialy when you neglect to buy you health insurance under Obamacare and they come to throw you in jail.

Since when did libz care about facts anyway?
ReplyDeleteThey don't care, they only want to satisfy their wretched white guilt complex by using the oppressive govt. to disarm us.
They need to be destroyed....at the next elections.
