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.

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, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

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.

Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one 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.

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:

List of 7 items:

Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2percent.

Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6percent.

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 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 societyof 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 them of this history lesson. With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'.

During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!

If you value your freedom, please spread this anti-gun control message to all of your friends.

The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.

SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN! SWITZERLAND 'S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY ADULT THEY ISSUE A RIFLE TO. SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!

IT'S A NO BRAINER! DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.

WOW! Exceptional Service Is Appreciated!

Recently, I have been the recipient of extraordinary service from two different gun related industries and I want to recommend these businesses to everyone. As anyone who has tried to purchase anything weapon related in the last few months can tell you, businesses have been hammered, products are hard to find, and patience runs thin with many of the folks you have to deal with. These facts make these recommendations even more deserving.

I will begin with www.fobusholster.com and the incredible service I received from them. I was looking for paddle style holsters for concealed carry to be used with three different carry weapons that I use depending on the situation.

I already had a model I purchased, thinking it was for the Taurus PT-111, approximately 5 years ago. It was picked from the rack for me by a local gun shop worker but, unbeknown to me, it was the wrong model for my gun. Though it fit, sort of, I was never really satisfied with it and abandoned it into a drawer where it was forgotten until days ago.

The other day, because of the excellent website that Fobus has, I was able to figure out that the holster was the wrong model for my gun. I called Fobus to order the correct model, plus the other two holsters that I needed.

During the conversation with the very nice woman who answered from the sales department, I explained that I had purchased the wrong holster years ago and just figured it out that day. She said, "That is no problem, just send it back and we will send you the right one."

I was floored. No one exchanges a product after that amount of time especially if it was customer error in the first place! But, Fobus does... all they needed was $3 to cover postage and the old holster. End of story! Now that is a true lifetime guarantee.

The other experience was with a company that I ordered through the Internet. The website is www.gunpartsguy.com and the service was awesome!

I found his site through a link from the TAPCO website. (I needed some TAPCO magazines for my SKS and, by the way, these mags rock!) The Gun Parts Guy carries the full line of TAPCO products and the first surprise was that he had what I needed - IN STOCK!

But, the real surprise was how fast I received my order. I ordered the parts at noon on Thursday, and received them via USPS at noon on Saturday! That is same-day service at its finest!

At this time of near chaos and craziness, it was a real pleasure to do business with these companies!

While I am at it, for all of you black powder enthusiasts, I found the most amazing website last night. It can be found at www.trackofthewolf.com and if it has to do with black powder sports or related activities, they have it. Check out their catalog, it is a work of art! (This site really made me miss my old mountaineering and Scouting buddy, MC).
