Default The history of gun ownership

The history of gun ownership

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 ***s 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 (handguns) 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 their handguns in, 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 only armed with shotguns or rifles. 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 handguns. 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 friends.....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 to all of your friends and acquaintances.

What is wrong with gun control? I think everybody should have enough gun control to squeeze off at least 10 rounds every 3 to 5 seconds!

Citizens or subjects is the defining key.
It's part of our Heinz 57 existence, being a mix of freedom and peace loving individuals.
One of the youngest countries, the most feared, hated and revered in all the world.
Think about this when you vote, obviously most people in recent times don't.


You rather be a citizen or a subject?


Oh and Blue, I agree!

Wow..Good stuff man! Thanks. Ridiculous that we even have to have these discussions. I for one would vote that everyone in this country be required to retake US and World History, taught by an honest patriotic teacher...
