> 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 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 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 guns 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.
>
> 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 data on the American evening news or hear
> your governor or members of the state Assembly disseminating
> this information.
>
> The Australian experience proves it. 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!"

CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
