 GUN  HISTORY
  
  Whether you agree or not, it's an  interesting lesson in history.
    Something to think  about...
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 more than 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  were:
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 first year, 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  American evening news or hear our president, governors or other politicians  disseminating this information. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives  and property and, yes, gun-control laws 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'.
    If you value your freedom, Please  spread this anti-gun control  message.
