Australian Gun Law Update
        
From: Ed Chenel, A police officer in Australia
        
Hi Yanks, I thought you all would like to see the real figures from Down Under. It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by a new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by our own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars.
        
The first year results
          are now in:
          Australia-wide, homicides are up 6.2 percent,
          Australia-wide, assaults are up 9.6 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 the criminals
          now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed. There has also
          been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the
          elderly,
          
        
while the resident is at home.
      
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....'
      
You won't see this on the American evening news or hear your governor or members of the State Assembly disseminating this information. The Australian experience speaks for itself. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect only the law-abiding citizens.
