Australian Gun Law Update, 1997



Here is a thought to warm some of your hearts ...

From: Ed Chenel, A police officer in Australia

Hi Yanks, I thought you all would like to see the real Figures from Down Under.

It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by a new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by our own Government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars.

The first year results are now in:

Australia-wide, homicides are up 6.2%

Australia-wide, assaults are up 9.6%

Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44% (yes, 44%)

In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300%. 


(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 the criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.

There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the elderly, while the resident is at home.

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...." 

You won't see this on the American evening news or hear your governor or members of the State Assembly disseminating this information.

The Australian experience speaks for itself. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect only the law-abiding citizens.

Take note Americans, before it's too late!

Will you be one of the sheeple to turn yours in?

WHY? You will need it.

Note from TheRightJack: The research evidence from our FBI and from some of our state government studies is clear ...

More Guns = Less Crime

Do not take my word for this. Simply conduct your own internet search on this phrase above. Ignore the political rhetoric. Read the facts.

Reader notes accompanying  this email:

Whether you own a gun or not...........please read.

This has been around for years, but worth a closer look considering our own situation. After a mass shooting in April 1996, it took the Australian politicians just twelve days to pass their gun ban. This send-up was written one year later. It's happening here in Amerika, fast tracked by our "elected" reprehensive represenitatives. Be careful what you wish for
