One year after gun-owners were forced to surrender 640,381 personal firearms, including semi-automatic .22 rifles and shotguns, to be destroyed in a government program costing over 500 million dollars, the results are in...

The latest crime statistics reveal a dramatic increase in criminal activity. Gun control advocates respond "Just wait... we'll be safer... you'll see...".

Unfortunately, the ban has made the Australian criminal safer now.

OBSERVABLE FACT AFTER 12 MONTHS OF DATA

• Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2%.

   

• Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6%.

   

• Australia-wide, armed-robberies are up 44%. (yes, FORTY-FOUR PERCENT)

   

• In the state of Victoria, homicides-with-firearms are up 300%!

   

• The steady decrease in homicides-with-firearms that occurred during the previous 25 years became an increase in the last 12 months.

   

• The steady decrease in armed-robbery-with-firearms that occurred during the previous 25 years became an increase in the last 12 months.

   

• There has been a dramatic increase in breakins-and-assaults-of-the-elderly.

   

• At the time of the ban, the Prime Minister said "self-defense is not a reason for owning a firearm".

   

• From 1910 to present, homicides in Australia have averaged about 1.8-per-100,000 or lower, a safe society by any standard.

   

• The ban has destroyed Australia's standings in some international sport shooting competitions.

   

• The membership of the Australian Sports Shooting Association has increased by 200% in response to the ban and in an attempt to organize against further controls, which are expected.

   

• Australian politicians are on the spot and at a loss to explain why no improvement in "safety" has been observed after such monumental effort and expense was successfully expended in "ridding society of guns". Their response has been to "wait longer".

For Those who interfere with the Amendment II of the US Constitution. The next person shot may be YOU

I'm not a Paul Harvey fan, and don't endorse other things that he might say, but here, he's on the mark. With just one correlation of "gun control" and genocide, it could be coincidence, but with this many, and I'm sure there are more, the connection and its nature becomes fairly clear.

Commentary by Paul Harvey:

"Are you considering backing gun control laws???"

Do you think that because you may not own a gun, the rights guaranteed by the Second Amendment don't matter?

CONSIDER THIS... In 1929 the Soviet Union established gun control. - From 1929 to 1953, approximately 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

In 1911, Turkey established gun control. - From 1915-1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Germany established gun control in 1938. - From 1939 to 1945, 13 million Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, the mentally ill, 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.

That places total victims who lost their lives because of gun control at approximately 56 million in the last century.

Since we should learn from the mistakes of history, the next time someone talks in favor of gun control, find out which group of citizens they wish to have exterminated.

Since gun owners in Australia were forced to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed, a program costing the government more than $500 million dollars. - The results Australia-wide; Homicides are up 3.2%, Assaults are up 8 %, and Armed robberies are up 44%. In that country's state of Victoria, homicides with firearms are up 300%.

Over the previous 25 years, figures show a steady decrease in armed robberies and Australian politicians are on the spot and at a loss to explain how no improvement in "safety" has been observed after such monumental effort and expense was successfully expended in "ridding society of guns."

It's time to state it plainly; Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws only affect the law-abiding citizens. Take action before it's too late, write or call your delegation.
