A Little Gun History

  • *  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.  This doesn't include the 30 million 'Uncle Joe' starved to death in the Ukraine.

     *  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, leaving a populace unable to defend itself against the Gestapo and SS.  Hundreds of thousands died as a result.  

     * 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. The total dead are said to be 2-3 million

     * Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, 1-2 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 at a bare minimum. 

    * 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: 

    Australia-wide, homicides went up 3.2 percent 

    Australia-wide, assaults went up 8.6 percent 

    Australia-wide, armed robberies went 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 showed a steady DECREASE in armed robbery with firearms, that changed drastically upward in the first  year after gun confiscation...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 Australian 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. 

    With Guns...........We Are "Citizens". 
    Without Them........We Are "Subjects". 

    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 Harbor had attended Harvard University 1919-1921 & was Naval Attaché to the U. S. 1925-28. Most of our Navy was destroyed at Pearl Harbor and our Army had been deprived of funding and was ill prepared to defend the country.

    It was reported that when asked why Japan did not follow up the Pearl Harbor attack with an invasion of the U. S. Mainland, his reply was that he had lived in the U. S. and knew that almost all households had guns.

  • I wrote a paper on this subject, used many of the figures you listed.

    In the end, the "it won't happen to us" crowd refuse to believe that is possible in today's society.

  • Gun control has proved successful in every developed country, whether new laws in the last 30 years or laws that were introduced a long time ago.

    Every single one. Japan has the tightest gun control in the world, Japan has the least amount of gun violence in the world.

    How about instead of copying and pasting a Facebook status, you be able to defend and elaborate your post? What constitutes "gun control" in the examples you posted?

    Why?? I'm spewing shit like every liberal on here. Hey let's get rid of every gun in America and it will be safe. Facts on this?? Any country as big as ours ever done this?? Any country with as many different ethnic backgrounds done this?? How much money will this cost?? Who will pay for this?? How do we stop people from sneaking in guns?? How do we stop someone killing people with a gun without guns?? How do we protect ourselves from another country or another person?? How is this constitutional?? Your fvcking stupid and so is every person who believes we should get rid of guns. Be realistic for once in your life and maybe this country wouldn't be going down the shitter like it is now.

    I've never once advocated banning ALL guns, so I'm not sure why you are trying to rebutt an argument that maybe a few people on this board hold.

    Why ban any guns?? Isn't America about freedom??

  • And what's taking this country doww the god damn shitter is the fact that we fail as a nation in having a realistic, reasonable and progressive conversation about what needs fixing in this country. We can't address shit because everything is black and white, all in or out, zero sum game. It's either win or lose, but no one wins and everyone loses.

    This thread is a perfect example. So good job. clap

    You people honestly think if people want to kill they will follow a damn law anyway? And do you honestly think they couldn't find a damn gun? Pull your head out of your ass.

    The Japan part wasn't wrong. They have the lowest gun homicide rate in the world at .02% vs. the US at 3.7%. So that part was correct. And he was correct that Japan is pretty much the toughest place to get a gun.

    So at best he was only half wrong.
