Australian Gun Law
Update
Here's a thought to warm some of your
hearts....
From: Ed Chenel, A police officer in Australia
Hi Yanks,
I thought you all would like to see the real
figures from Down
Under.
It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were
forced by a
new law, created by liberal politicians to surrender 640,381
personal
firearms to be destroyed by our own government, a program costing
Australian
taxpayers more than $500 million dollars.
The first year
results are now in:
Australia-wide, homicides are up 6.2
percent,
Australia-wide, assaults are up 96 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, while the
resident is at
home.
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....' You won't see this
on
the American evening news or hear your governor or members of the
State
Assembly disseminating this information.
The Australian
experience speaks for itself. Guns in the hands of honest
citizens save
lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect only the
law-abiding
citizens.
Take note Americans, before it's too late!
Will you be one
of the sheep to turn yours in?
WHY? You will need
it.
