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 University 1919-1921 & was Naval Attach� to
the U. S. 1925-28. Most of our Navy was destroyed at Pearl Harbor and 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. and knew that almost all households had guns.
Go with God!
