It has now been 12 months since gun-owners in Austrailia were forced by the new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own government at a cost of 500 million dollars to Austrailian tax-payers. Here's the first year results:

Austrailia-wide homicides up 3.2%.  Austrailia-wide assaults up 8.6%. Austrailia-wide armed robberies up 44%. In Victoria alone, homicides up 300%. Law abiding citizens turned in their guns. Criminals did not.

You won't see this data on the news or hear the pawky individuals in Washington speak of it. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and yes, gun control laws adversely affect only law abidding citizens.

With guns, we are citizens. Without them, we are subjects. During WWII the Japs decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were armed.

Keep your guns. You are going to need them as the fight against ILLEGAL ALIENS and TERRORISTS escalates in the coming years.
