I own two guns. I love them. Like Charleton Heston said "..From my cold dead hands!"

Dennis, great stats.. can you post the document or the link to it? That is worth saving. (I can't access the one that seems to be at the end).
None of the promises of the 20th century has brought total peace to the human heart. Not education, the war on poverty, political movements, massive government spending, I suppose the list could go on.. So I am left with the conclusion that God was right, He has always been right. Man's heart needs to be changed - we need the Spirit of God to be free from anger, selfishness and greed. And we still need to be able to defend ourselves at home and be able to defend our neighbors from law-breakers and tyrants..
Currently the proponents of gun-control would like us not to defend Afgan women and children from murder by the Taliban, yet many of them said :never again" after WWII, and where were they for Cambodia? Uganda?
So, we need to continue to say that we must retain the absolute right to defend my person and family from all forms of lethal force..

After reading the following historical facts, read the part about Switzerland, twice.

In 1929, the
Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929! to 1953, about 20,000,000 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 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: 56,000,000!!!

It has now been 16 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 statistics 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..

Victoria-wide: Homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. (Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, so 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 are 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 U.S. 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 and relatives

The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and
skill is more important than either. No weapon can be properly used or wielded without the brain.
SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN!SWITZERLAND'S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY ADULT TO WHOM
THEY ISSUE A RIFLE.
SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN-RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!
IT'S A NO BRAINER, FOLKS!! DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET OR WORSE, A CHALK OUTLINE.

I'm a firm believer of the 2nd Amendment!
If you are too, please forward this note. Just consider how powerful our government is getting!
OUR GOVERNMENT THINKS THESE OTHER COUNTRIES SIMPLY DIDN’T DO IT RIGHT. WELL, LEARN A LESSON FROM HISTORY!!
