World History of Gun Control
1911 Turkey establishes gun control.
1915-1917 1.5 Million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded
up and exterminated.

1929 The soviet Union establishes gun control.
1929-1953 approximately 20 Million dissidents, unable to defend themselves,
were rounded up and exterminated.

1935 China establishes gun control.
1948-1952 20 Million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were
rounded up and exterminated.

1938 Germany establishes gun control.
1939-1945 13 Million Jews, gypsies and other arbitrary categories of people
unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

1964 Guatemala establishes gun control.
1964-1981 100,000 Mayan Indians unable to defend themselves, were rounded up
and exterminated.

1966 Cambodia establishes gun control.
1975-1977 One Million ?educated? people unable to defend themselves, were
rounded up and exterminated.

1970 Uganda establishes gun control.
1971-1979 300,000 Christians unable to defend themselves, were rounded up
and exterminated.

1999 Australia establishes gun control.
Law-abiding citizens were forced to surrender 640,381 personal firearms for
destruction, a program costing the government more than $500 million.

The results Australia-wide:

Homicides are up 3.2%
Assaults are up 8%
Armed Robberies are up 44%

In the State of Victoria, homicides with firearms are up 300%.
Over the previous 25 years, figures show a steady decrease in armed
robberies and Australian politicians are on the spot and at a loss to
explain how no improvement in ?safety? has been observed after such a
monumental effort was expended in ?ridding society of guns.?

In a mere 100 years, more than 56 Million people, unable to defend
themselves because of gun control, have lost their lives and property.
Gunsin the hands of honest citizens save lives and property. Gun control
only affects law-abiding citizens as criminals will always find a way to
obtain weapons.

The next time someone suggests how much safer the world might be with gun
control, ask them which group of citizens they would like to exterminate.
