A LITTLE GUN HISTORY
 
  I Thought you might appreciate this . . .

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