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.<\/p>\n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"Food for thought............................\r\nWhether you agree or not, it's an interesting lesson in history.\r\nSomething to think about...","numcomment":5,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2004\/05\/109648.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[{"id":109656,"heading":"Hey, dumbass","article":"Not all liberals are anti-gun.","author":"anti-moron","parent_id":109648,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2004-05-07 15:36:16","modified":"2004-05-07 15:36:16","fileurl":""},{"id":109748,"heading":"Control","article":"The citizenry should never be out gunned by the state.\r\nA balance of power is needed between the state and the people.\r\nThose RPGs sure look nice.","author":"Sheepdog","parent_id":109648,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2004-05-08 14:59:08","modified":"2004-05-08 14:59:08","fileurl":""},{"id":109769,"heading":"pro-gun leftists","article":"A lot of leftists are pro-gun.
