starlight32 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 A LITTLE GUN HISTORY In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ----- In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ------ Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves wer e rounded up and exterminated. ----- China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated ------- Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ------ Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ------ Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated' people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ----- Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million. ------ 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 perc ent 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.

claypop Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 This is the reason almost every French house has a gun - they want to be ready if there's another land invasion - it's in their psyche! In france you can have a pistol up to .32 for home defence. In France they are citizens, here we are subjects & every place with tight gun control the people are subject to rule from the top down like the minions we are here!

Big_Sam Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Itis often said that the Swiss were never invaded in WWII because the Nazis knew every house had a rifle in it, and the people were trained and ready to use it. I think the quote went like this: German officer to Swiss officer - "You have 1 million men, I have 5 million men. What would you do if I marched them into Switzerland?" Swiss officer - "Each of my men would fire 5 shots then go home." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Surprisingly, there is nothing on the Urban Legends websites disproving all these "facts", well not on the ones I have looked at. We have a form of Gun Control, but we haven't had loads of people rounded up and exterminated, unless thats something else I have missed.

al4x Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 neither am I, I guess because it first did the rounds in 2001, people have had a bit of opportunity to do a bit more creative writing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
