profxavier9 0 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 That is such a naive statement. Who made the mistake?I don't know. But whoever thought it was a good idea to give the common man the right to arms for no apparent reason without thinking of the possible outcome might be at fault. It could also be the thousandths of people after him that kept it in place until now. It may have been needed for a period of time, but that time is long past us imo.

I will agree that as times changed the right should have but it didn't and this is what we are left with. The ramifications of changing it now would be too severe. Link to post Share on other sites

rvrchsrhtr 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Times were a lot different then when that right was given. I will agree that as times changed the right should have but it didn't and this is what we are left with. The ramifications of changing it now would be too severe.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 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, 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 American evening news or hear our president,governors or other politicians disseminating this information. Guns in the hands of honest citizens sav e lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws 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'. 2007 Link to post Share on other sites

strategy's_touch 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Australia seems like the last place I'd expect gun control, just because of their history and all. weird. the conclusions that piece tries to draw about gun control and extermination are just absurd.
