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 U 1919-1921 & was
Naval
Attaché to the U. S. 1925-28. Most of our Navy was destroyed at
Pearl Harbor & 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. & knew that almost all households had
guns.
