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!)
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 American evening news or hear our
president,
governors or other politicians disseminating this information.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes,
gun-control laws 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'.
