Just passing it along, a little gun history from another site.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE CURRENT GENERATION OF YOUNG AMERICANS.....

IT IS NOT ONLY YOUR RIGHT, BUT ALSO YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAINTAIN THE FREEDOMS THAT THOSE WHO HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED FOR SO THAT YOU TODAY CAN BE A FREE AMERICAN. NOT ONLY FOR YOUR SAKE BUT FOR YOUR CHILDRENS FUTURE ALSO.

OUR GENERATION, THOSE OVER 45, CAN ONLY HOPE AND PRAY TO GOD ABOVE THAT OUR CURRENT GENERATION OF YOUNG AMERICANS "NEVER" WILLINGLY GIVE UP THEIR 2ND AMENDMENT RIGHT TO OWN AND BEAR ARMS.

IF THEY EVER DO, THERE IS A REAL SERIOUS CHANCE THAT THEY WILL BE THE GENERATION THAT WILL BECOME THE SLAVES TO THE GOVERNMENT AGAIN.

AND, THEY TO THEN WOULD HAVE TO FIGHT AGAIN TO "REGAIN" THEIR FREEDOM FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR CHILDREN.

PRAY IT DOES NOT HAPPEN!!!!!!!

PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO AS MANY PEOPLE YOU KNOW THAT MAY BE INTERESTED TOO IN KEEPING THEIR FREEDOM AS WE KNOW IT TODAY!!

WHY? BECAUSE WE ARE "ALL" AMERICANS!!

(I'LL BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW THIS!)

A Little Gun History Lesson

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 inhabitants turned them in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!

** It will never happen here? I bet the Aussies said that* *too! **

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 him of this history lesson.

**With Guns........ ...We are "able to defend ourselves".

**Without Them........ We are "Subjects".

During W.W.II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!

Note: Admiral Yamamoto who crafted the attack on Pearl Harbor had attended Harvard U 1919-1921 & was Naval Attaché to the U. S. 1925-28. Most of our Navy was destroyed at Pearl Harbor & our Army had been deprived of funding & was ill prepared to defend the country. (By design of the world controlling elite to create another war)

It was reported that when asked why Japan did not follow up the Pearl Harbor attack with an invasion of the U. S. Mainland, his reply was that he had lived in the U. S. & knew that almost all households had guns.
