        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:

        List of 7 items:

        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!

        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 the 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 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.

        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. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.

        SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN!

        SWITZERLAND 'S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY ADULT THEY ISSUE A RIFLE.

        SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY

        CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!

        IT'S A NO BRAINER!

        DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS

        IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.

        I'm a firm believer of the 2nd Amendment!  If you are too, please forward.

        Just think how powerful our government is getting!  They think these other countries just didn't do it right.

        Learn from history.
