NOW A MORE CURRENT HISTORY PAGE
It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by a new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms for destruction by their government. This program cost Australian taxpayers more than 500 million dollars.
The first year's results are now in:
Australia-wide, homicides with firearms are up 3.2 percent.
Australia-wide, assaults with firearms 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: 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 criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.
There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY.
After a monumental effort and cost was expended in ridding the Australian Society of personal firearms, Australian politicians are at a loss to explain why public safety has decreased. 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 support of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.
With guns, we are citizens. Without them, we are just subjects.
