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, 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.
