Here's a thought to warm your hearts... From Ed Chenel, a police officer in Australia.

Hi Yanks and Canadians -

I thought you all would like to see the real figures from Down Under. It has now been 12 months
since gun owners in Australia were forced by a new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms


to be destroyed by our own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million 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!) 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 the 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." You won't see this on
the American /Canadian evening news or hear your government or members
of the State Assembly and Ottawa parliament disseminating this information.

The Australian experience proves it. Guns in the hands of honest
citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect only
the law-abiding citizens.


Take note Americans and Canadians before it's too late!

FORWARD TO EVERYONE ON YOUR EMAIL LIST.
