A Brief History of Gun Control

Are you considering backing gun control laws? Do you think that because
you may not own a gun, the rights guaranteed by the Second Amendment
don't matter?

CONSIDER;

In 1929 the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953,
approximately 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were
rounded up and exterminated.

In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915-1917, 1.5 million
Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and
exterminated.

Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, 13
million Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, the mentally ill, 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.

That places total victims who lost their lives because of gun control at
approximately 56 million in the last century. Since we should learn
from the mistakes of history, the next time someone talks in favor of
gun control, find out which group of citizens they wish to have
exterminated.

It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced to
surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed, a program costing
the government more than $500 million dollars. The results
Australia-wide; Homicides are up 3.2% Assaults are up 8 % Armed
robberies are up 44% In that countries' state of Victoria, homicides
with firearms are up 300%. Over the previous 25 years, figures show a
steady decrease in armed robberies and Australian politicians are on the
spot and at a loss to explain how no improvement in "safety" has been
observed after such monumental effort and expense was successfully
expended in "ridding society of guns." It's time to state it plainly;
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes,
gun-control laws only affect the law-abiding citizens. Take action
before it's too late, write or call your delegation.
