I got this in an email earlier today
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:
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!
