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 million 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.

12 Months after Australians 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 as follows

List of 7 items:

Australia-wide, homicides up 3.2 percent.

Australia-wide, assaults up 8.6 percent.

Australia-wide, armed robberies  up 44%  (yes, 44 percent)!

In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms 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 those 12 months, since criminals 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.
 

As the Supreme Court heard arguments for and against the Chicago, IL Gun Ban,
this man offered you another stellar example of a letter
(written by a Marine),
that places the proper perspective on what a gun means to a civilized society.

Interesting take and one you don't hear much.  .  .  .  .  .

Read this eloquent and profound letter and pay close attention to the last paragraph of the letter....

"The Gun Is Civilization" by Maj.  L.  Caudill USMC (Ret)

Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. 
If you want me to do something for you,
you have a choice of either convincing me via argument,
or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. 
Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception.

Reason or force, that's it.

In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. 
Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction
and the only thing that removes force from the menu
is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some.

When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force. 
You have to use reason and try to persuade me,
because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force.

The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a
100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger,
a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gang banger,
and a single guy on equal footing with a carload of drunken guys with baseball bats.

The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender.

There are plenty of people who consider the gun as the source of bad force equations. 
These are the people who think that we'd be more civilized if all guns were removed from society,
because a firearm makes it easier for a [armed] mugger to do his job. 
That, of course, is only true if the mugger's potential victims are mostly disarmed
either by choice or by legislative fiat--it has no validity when most of a mugger's potential marks are armed.

People who argue for the banning of arms ask for automatic rule by the young,
the strong, and the many, and that's the exact opposite of a civilized society. 
A mugger, even an armed one,
can only make a successful living in a society where the state has granted him a force monopoly.

Then there's the argument that the gun makes confrontations lethal that otherwise would only result in injury. 
This argument is fallacious in several ways. 
Without guns involved,
confrontations are won by the physically superior party inflicting overwhelming injury on the loser.

People who think that fists, bats, sticks, or stones don't constitute lethal force,
watch too much TV,
where people take beatings and come out of it with a bloody lip at worst. 
The fact that the gun makes lethal force easier works solely in favor of the weaker defender,
not the stronger attacker. 
If both are armed,
the field is level.

The gun is the only weapon that's as lethal in the hands of an octogenarian as it is in the hands of a weight lifter. 
It simply wouldn't work as well as a force equalizer if it wasn't both lethal and easily employable.

When I carry a gun, I don't do so because I am looking for a fight,
but because I'm looking to be left alone. 
The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. 
I don't carry it because I'm afraid,
but because it enables me to be unafraid. 
It doesn't limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason,
only the actions of those who would do so by force. 
It removes force from the equation... 
and that's why carrying a gun is a civilized act.

By Maj.  L.  Caudill USMC (Ret.)



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 TO. 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 in the 2nd Amendment! If you are too, please forward.
