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
of207 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 datum 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.


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.

As John
Steinbeck once said:

1. Don't
pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just k ill
you.

2. If you find yourself
in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

3. I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy.


4. When seconds count, the
cops are just minutes away.

5.
A reporter did a human-interest piece on the Texas Rangers. The reporter
recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and asked him 'Why do
you carry a 45?' The Ranger responded, 'Because they don't make a 46.'


6. An armed man will kill an
unarmed man with monotonous regularity.

7. The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner
when a lady commented on his wearing his sidearm. 'Sheriff, I see you have
your pistol. Are you expecting trouble?' 'No Ma'am. If I were expecting
trouble, I would have brought my rifle.'

8. Beware the man who only has one gun. HE PROBABLY
KNOWS HOW TO USE IT!!!

But
wait, there's more!

I was once
asked by a lady visiting if I had a gun in the house. I said I did. She said
'Well I certainly hope it isn't loaded!'
To which I said, 'Of course it is20loaded, can't
work without bullets!' She then asked, 'Are you that afraid of someone evil

coming into your house?' My reply
was, 'No, not at all. I am not afraid of the house catching fire either, but
I have fire extinguishers around, and they are all loaded too.' To which
I'll add, having a gun in the house that isn't loaded is like having a car
in the garage without gas in the tank.

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

 

I'm a retired Marine, so do you think I would have loaded weapons in the house??? 

Retired police officer here and I believe that EVERY HOME should have a gun in it and the adults trained to use it.  Bad guys love defenseless victims, it makes their job much easier and cuts down on their "on the job" injuries.

I really appreciate your expert opinion. That is very interesting

Chip, I hope that you didn't get your name (Crossfire) the hard way. Hopefully it represents your fuel injection.

LOL, I hadnt thought of that Larry.  Nope, I assure you it referrs to my fuel system. Crossfire19822009-01-11 05:52:54

A friend of mine sent this to me today and I immediately thought of this post.  I think this pretty much summs up my feelings on armed citizens.  See if this makes sense to you.

Chip, very well put. I do find your thoughts interesting (being a retired police officer and all). Thanks for posting
