Why is Gun Control a BAD thing?

Im still here

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 them selves , 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.
It has now been 12 months since 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 3.2 percent
Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent
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 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
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.

I'm sorry, you are correct.
Several of them (China, USSR, and Germany) were SECOND world.
Definition being 2nd world = communist economy.
3rd world = worse than communist.
That was what the original definition of 3rd world implied ... not even up to communist standards.
I'm on your side on this though. FYI.If I was to smile and I held out my hand

Well not that I disagree with you but that statistic for Victoria probably includes death by guns which for the most part are either due to Police Shootings, we have a lot of those here AND the Gangland wars, which doesn't effect the general population so much.NOPE!!!
*~You're IT Bert!~*
Hold on to the thread

please explain why the US has the highest, by far, gun related deaths of any country in the world. its not even close. please explain this away just after some other fuck head comes on to MY CAMPUS and shoots 22 people with 3 guns...

You are mistaken, the 2nd amendment is there to protect us from tyranny of anykind, not just England. Plus the right to defend your family and your property.
Have you ever thought that it is the 2nd amendment. The only other amendment that was more important is the first amendment (freedom of speech). That, in and of itself should show you how important it really is.........PEARL JAM~Lubbock, TX. 10~18~00

more guns equal more deaths. it's as simple as that
but, I don't think that's a great reason for us as a civilization to just cow down and be slaves to a Government that is oppressing us
the time may come when we will have to stand up for ourselves, how will we do that without guns?

praise the lord and pass the ammunition0

There's a difference between not allowing any guys and making people pass real tests to own a gun.
And yes, rifles included, not just hand guns. It's sad that we can't come up with some rigorous test for people to take before they purchase a gun.
Oh, yeah, we do background checks, which mean shit.Abraham Lincoln once said, "If you are a racist, I will attack you with the North."0 -

just to paraphrase, a man came to Jesus and ask him if he had a right to own an sword (the gun of the time) and protect his family. Jesus said, if you do not own a sword, go into to town and sell your clothes and buy a sword to protect your family............PEARL JAM~Lubbock, TX. 10~18~00

I do believe that, sorry if I offend you but in today's world everyone should be armed to stop psychos who do this kinda thing
if every student in that class was armed do you think as many people would have died?
or even better, do you think he would have even tried that shit?PEARL JAM~Lubbock, TX. 10~18~00
