Though this was posted four years ago, it is equally if not more relevant today. This whole gun control business is not about public safety; it's about public disarmament...

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 Australia n 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. All news in this country is "coached" by government thru influence-peddling to AVOID telling you things you SHOULD know.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.
The purpose for guns other than food, is: (1) to protect your property (2) to protect you and others from injury and (3) to protect your common law unalienable rights. [These go FAR beyond Constitutional Rights and are a gift from the creator.] The history of government is one of usurpation of people into slavery. For anyone who doesn't believe this then go back and examine the Declaration of Independence and understand that "the People" declared themselves INDEPENDENT of government. [Never to be told again by government that they are NOT to have the means to insure their freedom.] When you have no weapon, your slavery is guaranteed by government it's just a matter of time.
Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late! When only government has guns, they will force "law for government" [aka statutory law"] upon you --when ironically it's really meant to control them. With guns, the People declare the independence of their separate lawfulness only common with people.
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'.
When there was NO INCOME tax was when EVERYONE understood EVERYONE had a right to a weapon ..coincidence?
Gun Owners and Tax Deniers defined the freest and most prosperous time in the history of the world. Never forget this heritage.
During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!
During WWII the Nazi's decided not to invade Switzerland for each Swiss common man was a trained sharp-shooter with a gun. Hitler
used the German word for "porcupine" to describe how his troops would suffer.
Note: Admiral Yamamoto who crafted the attack on Pearl Harbor had attended Harvard U 1919-1921 & was Naval Attach 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.
If you value your freedom, Please spread this anti-gun control message to all your friends!
AND NEVER, NEVER, NEVER SURRENDER YOUR GUNS!!!
