Gun owners in Australia




 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: 

Australia-wide, homicides went up 3.2 percent 

Australia-wide, assaults went up 8.6 percent 

Australia-wide, armed robberies went 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. 

It will never happen here? I bet the Aussies said that too. 

While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady DECREASE in armed robbery with firearms, that changed drastically upward in the first  year after gun confiscation...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 him of this history lesson. 

With Guns...........We Are "Citizens". 
Without Them........We Are "Subjects". 

During W.W.II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED.

Note: Admiral Yamamoto who crafted the attack on Pearl Harbor had attended Harvard University 1919-1921 & was Naval Attaché to the U. S. 1925-28. Most of our Navy was destroyed at Pearl Harbor and our Army had been deprived of funding and was ill prepared to defend the country.

It was reported that when asked why Japan did not follow up the Pearl Harbor attack with an invasion of the U. S. Mainland, his reply was that he had lived in the U. S. and knew that almost all households had guns. 


If you value your freedom, Please spread this anti-gun control message to all your friends.

The gun buy back has not increased gun violence in Australia, I dont know where you got your stats from but I would seriously check the source. Australians have never been able to buy,carry or even have firarems in vehicles for the purpose of self defence so the arguement of people being unproteced is moot. I owned guns but handed them in and was compensated for it. I have to say I dont miss them.

So why are you anonymous then? Surely you must be "proud" of what you did?
By the way, do they station a policeman outside your home to keep the evil criminals away??
