For egg sucking dog liberals

by Ben Friday, May. 07, 2004 at 2:14 PM

Food for thought............................ Whether you agree or not, it's an interesting lesson in history. Something to think about...

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. From 1939 to 1945, 13
million Jews and others, who were unable to defend themselves were 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:
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 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.
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.

Control

by Sheepdog Saturday, May. 08, 2004 at 2:59 PM

The citizenry should never be out gunned by the state.
A balance of power is needed between the state and the people.
Those RPGs sure look nice.

pro-gun leftists

by more rational Saturday, May. 08, 2004 at 8:40 PM

A lot of leftists are pro-gun. A lot of revolutionary artwork features rifles.

The conservative gun lobby is just a new KKK with their hoods hidden. They would never lift a finger to demand gun rights for the people who need it most: the people who really do need to defend themselves against the state. They don't, for example, buy guns for Palestine. They didn't buy guns for Black South Africans during Apartheid.

No, the NRA and other groups are basically the same as the state. They support cops, who are the state. They support the military, who are the state. They are a huge lobby that gives a lot of money to politicians. All this talk about fearing "the government" is just nonsense. They are the government.
