What Gun Bans do to People

This is from a forwarded email that I got.  Check it out.  A Little Gun History

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 and from 1939 to
1945, a total
of 13 mil lion 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!

It will never happen here? I bet the Aussies said that too!


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 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 th e US 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 him
of this history lesson.

With Guns............ We Ar e 'Citizens'.

Without Them........ We Are 'Subjects'.

During W.W.II the Japanese decided not to invade America
because they
knew most Americans were ARMED!

Note:

Admiral Yamamoto who crafted the attack on Pearl Harbor had
attended
Harvard U 1919-1921 & was Naval Attaché to the U. S.
1925-28. Most of our Navy was destroyed at Pearl Harbor
& our Army had
been deprived of funding & was ill prepared to defend
the country.

It was reported that when asked why Japan did not follow up
the Pearl
Harbor attack with an invasion of the U. S. Mainland, his
reply was that
he had lived in the U. S. & knew that almost all
households had guns.

If you value the Second Ammendment and your freedom, please
spread this
anti-gun control message to all your friends.
