Gun control

This was sent to me by a friend. I hope it does not offend anyone. It is long but worth reading. Forward to friends if you want.

Gun History

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

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY

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:

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 to 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!

If you value your freedom, please spread this anti-gun control message to all of your friends.

The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense.
The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.



SPECIAL NOTE !

SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN!

SWITZERLAND'S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY ADULT THEY ISSUE A RIFLE.

SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!

IT'S A NO BRAINER!

DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.

I'm a firm believer of the 2nd Amendment!

If you are too, please forward.

Just think how powerful our government is getting!

They think these other countries just didn't do it right.

Learn from history. And finally for anyone who has the "Guns Kill People" thought pattern still running through their heads.
If Guns Kill People then Forks Made Rosie O’Donnell Fat. Pencils make people spell incorrectly, and well you get the idea; hopefully.
Wake up America before you have to press 1 and gain permission to be able to talk at all!

Opinions do not supersede the Bill of Rights. That is a fact. I agree with you howeverer that there is a responabililty that goes along with these rights.
 
My opinion was in no way tring to supersede The "Bill of Rights"
Articles ll and lV give people those rights.
I was just saying that if you are going to own a weapon ,that you should do as my sister did.
Take the courses,learn as much as you can about the weapon and how to defend yourself And you family.
Knowledge is power!
I just need more of both!
My Sister Rocks!!!

Mentiras y Traición

I made a personal pledge when my son crossed from Kuwait to Iraq on March 23, 2003 with the first Marine artillery unit, and the news referred to it as "Marines in a turkey shoot, and they were the targets" to exercise every right our guys fight for. One of them is the right to bear weapons. Prior to that, I was so nervous around them, I would leave the room if one was out. Now, it goes with me everywhere and I hope to never have to shoot anything except a target with it, but....
I also now adhere to the philosophy "speak up, even if your voice is shaking." Those young people face fears we will never understand - daily - we should live the lives they help achieve for ALL of us.
