Democrats and Guns

Democrats and Guns:

Where did the Republicans get the idea that we don’t like guns? More propaganda. I have been shooting guns since I was 6 years old. I taught my children to shoot guns. I have one daughter who has been an instructor for National Rifleman’s Association for over 20 years. She taught all the women that wanted to know how to shoot at AT&T before she retired. She taught all my grandchildren how to shoot and handle a gun.

I carried a gun to work everyday in downtown Dallas. I always carry a gun when I travel. I won’t fly, unless it is an emergency and someone else goes with me, because I can’t carry my gun. When you get where you are going you usually have to rent a car, and I want my gun. I have had to show it a few times and would use it, had it been necessary. I learned early in life, self protection is the best way to go. Every parent should teach their children, boys and girls about guns and the proper way and reason for there use, they are not toys.

I know lots of Democrats all over the country and they all believe in having guns. I feel sorry for the people in countries that have gun control. The people have become subjects, not citizens.

I am forwarding this on as this is thought provoking, whether you agree or disagree????

It is an interesting lesson in history. Something to think about…

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.

It has now been over 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:
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; while the law abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns).
Whiles 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 Australia society of guns. The Australian experience and the other historical facts prove it.

You won’t see this data on the American evening news or hear our president, government or other politicians disseminating this information.

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property, and yes, gun control 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’.

Someone sent this to me, I think everyone should be aware what happens when you have no protection, and your neighbors do not either. Remember your Second Amendment Rights.
