AW Ban Sunset Countdown
I realize that there are many in the world that do not understand the opposition to the 1994 ban on so-called “Assault Weapons”. These are the same people that either supported the ban or simply did not care because it did not effect them in any way.
Everyone should care. The liberties guarenteed in the Bill of Rights have no teath without the means defend those liberties. How long will these God given liberties survive without the ability to defend them?
Further, historical evidence is on the side of the Founding Fathers in their goal of maintaining an armed populance. Even the 20th century it was littered with example after example of the result that historically follows disarmament of the civilian population.
In 1929 the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, approximately 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915-1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, 13 million Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, the mentally ill, and others, who were unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. Note that the language of the Gun Control Act of 1968 is stikingly similar to the 1938 Nazi ban
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.
That places total victims who lost their lives because of gun control at approximately 56 million in the last century. Since we should learn from the mistakes of history, the next time someone talks in favor of gun control, find out which group of citizens they wish to have exterminated.
It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed, a program costing the government more than $500 million dollars.
The results Australia-wide: Homicides are up 3.2%, Assaults are up 8%, and Armed robberies are up 44%. In that country’s state of Victoria, homicides with firearms are up 300%. Over the previous 25 years, figures were showing a steady decrease in armed robberies and Australian politicians are on the spot and at a loss to explain how no improvement in “safety” has been observed after such a monumental effort and expense was expended in “ridding society of guns.”
The countdown to freedom, or tyranny, is ticking….
