A Little Gun History Lesson
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 ro unded 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.
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 mill ion
dollars. The first year results are now in:
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!
It will never happen here? I bet the Aussies said that too!
While figures over the previous 25 years s howed a steady decrease in armed
robbery with firearms, this has=2 0changed 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 Australia n 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.
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 Harborhad attended
Harvard U 1919-1921 & was Naval Attach? to the U. S. 1925-28. Most of our
Navy was destroyed at Pearl Harbor & our Army had bee n deprived of funding &
was ill prepared to defend the country.
It was reported that when asked why Japan did not follow up thePearl Harbor
attack with an invasion of the U. S. Mainland, his reply was that he had
lived in the U. S. & knew that almost all households had guns.
With Guns....... .. ....We Are 'Citizens'.
Without Them....... We Are 'Subjects'.
If you value your freedom, Please spread this anti-gun control message to all your friends!
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER SURRENDER YOUR GUNS!!!

BULLET FROM a police-issued .40 caliber Glock semiautomatic pistol was an unwelcome guest in the Copley Square dinner tent at last Friday's spring gala for the Boston Public Library Foundation. Now police investigators are trying to determine whether the officer who fired it, eight-year veteran Joseph King, followed department policy on the use of deadly force when he shot three times at a suspect's vehicle nearby. And police officials must counter growing public perceptions that officers in Boston are too quick to use their guns.
''Our policy is sound and our training is sound,'' says Police Commissioner Paul Evans. ''The statistics don't bear out that we're a trigger-happy department.''
A department review of intentional firearms discharges by officers from 1990 through 2000 provides evidence that the Boston police do take their life-and-death responsibilities seriously. Police researchers examined situational factors and personnel records related to all 84 discharge incidents over the decade, including officers' experience, weapons used by suspects, number of shots fired, and the races of officers and suspects. The one thing that stood out, according to Evans, was a surprisingly high number - 35 - of discharges at vehicles.
The study led to a policy change in 2000. Moving vehicles are no longer considered a threat of deadly force unless there is no reasonable means of escape for officers or bystanders. The policy change made good sense. Whether the officer misses or hits the target, the risk of death or injury to innocent parties is unacceptably high from either stray bullets or disabled drivers.
Ironically, fatal shootings by police in Boston - six in the past 18 months - have coincided with police efforts to improve training and control. Training modules, says Evans, have focused more intensively on judgment in addition to accuracy. Superior officers and command staff are also combing the personnel records of officers looking for anomalies, such as high rates of sick leave or motor vehicle accidents, that might indicate future problems on the job. None of the officers involved in the fatal shootings, says Evans, were so-called ''problem children.''
The Boston Police Department shows some weaknesses, however, in the investigative stage. Homicide detectives are always the first to investigate police firearms discharges that end in injury or death. Internal affairs reviews come later, often much later.
Some police departments, including Miami-Dade, now send police supervisors in addition to detectives to the scene to interview suspects, officers, and witnesses. The supervisor's duties focus largely on creating an account of the incident for later use in analyzing the department's practices regarding the use of force. Boston would benefit from this extra layer of vigilance. http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/137/editorials/Gun_control+.shtml
"If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege." - Arkansas Supreme Court, 1878

During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were armed.
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 WASTES MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET..
Now most of these goverments are our friends..Who needs friends like these?( gun control freaks( because they WILL do the same and do not to pull the trigger. get the people who have already done it to do it for them))

that really caught my eye. Namely : "The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control". How damn true. Kind of makes
one wonder.
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, 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

With guns, we are citizens. Without them, we are subjects.
sorry if its been posted. Im in a great mood today my Pmags showed up.
JUST PUT THE BULLET WHERE YOU AIM IT !!!! [:D]
Nothing very, very good or very, very bad lasts for very, very long.
Week of April 20, 2009
The Federal Gun Control Act currently prohibits the sale of firearms to people who are "adjudicated as a mentally defective." The Federal Gun Control Act not only affects veterans, but also surviving spouses and children if they have been appointed fiduciary for a veteran, thus prohibiting their ownership of firearms.
Bill S 669, the Veterans Second Amendment Protection Act, would prevent veterans from losing the right to own a gun if a fiduciary is appointed to handle their finances.
COMMENT BY HAIRY: With the large number of vets suffering from brain damage, courtesy of Bush's war, in addition to losing a significant enjoyment of life, they--and their families--lost access to guns.
Let's hope this bill passes.
