A little gun history... (I got this from Arley's myspace)

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 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 now only the criminals still have 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, home invasion robberies (with the people still at home) and assaults of the ELDERLY..
Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has so drastically 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..
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 brethren, before it is too late!
The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson..
With guns, people are 'citizens'..
Without them, they are 'subjects'..
During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!
I WILL BECOME AN OUTLAW
BEFORE I GIVE UP MY GUN!
