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 32 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 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 favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.
With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'.
If you value your freedom, Please spread this anti-gun control message to all of your friends.

Thanks for posting. I've seen that info before. It ought'a make a person think, eh?
The ol' "Pendelum" sure has "swung" the other way.
Our country is concidering passing a law for "Gays" to marry,
and ban personal protection. ?/?
I'm sorry, I don't get it.
It's just a straight up fact that the govt. wants all the cookies.
The future just very well may be,....
Get up, go to work, go home, sleep for 6 hrs., get up, go to work,.....etc., etc., etc.
Oh wait, we already do that.
But I'm talkin' that that's ALL you do.
No fishin'
No huntin'

No boating
No off road travel
No campin'
National Parks entry by Govt. officails only
State Parks entry by lottery. ( $ for education ya know,.....ya right. )
Assigned vacation time and destination. Probably nuthin' more than a shower and a change of clothes. All time and effort expended toward "The Greater Good".
"Waiter, check Please! I won't be staying for desert. Something I was served, made - me - sick! I'll just go home now."
