WHY WE CARRY... be sure and keep up with HR45. it is a gun bill that may come up for a vote. with the people in power, it may just pass.

PEOPLE ASK WHY?
I don't carry a gun because I hate the government. I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.

I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone. I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and Not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.


Police Protection is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect themselves.Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the Crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess. They can not be everywhere and protect everything and everyone. We don't expect teachers to raise our children, we can not expect people to protect everyone. There simply isn't enough manpower, and frankly, we should be willing and able to take care of ourselves.

It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forcedby new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed bytheir 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 8.620 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 inarmed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in thepast 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.

There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults ofthe ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how publicsafety has decreased, after such monumental effort, and expense wasexpended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns. TheAustralian 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.

The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind themof this history lesson.

With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'.

During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because theyknew most Americans were ARMED!

The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in just defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.
SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN! SWITZERLAND 'S GOVERNMENTTRAINS EVERY ADULT THEY ISSUE A RIFLE. SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!IT'S A NO BRAINER! DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAXDOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.

I'm a firm believer of the 2nd Amendment!
