Quick Gun Control Stats
I have much more to say on this topic....but for now, here are some proven factual statistics on Gun Control from this site:
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, 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 laws to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own government, a program costing Australian 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 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."
Fleet Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the officer responsible for planning and executing the militarily-brilliant and very tragic Pearl Harbor attack, was also asked to plan an invasion of the US West Coast.
When asked, he advised the military junta that ruled Japan that the task was impossible, because when landing in America, "there would be a rifleman behind every blade of grass."
I think those statistics speak for themselves. And now, not learning from history, Australian leaders are punishing their civilians...

I don't necessarily have a comment about your article, though I think that it proves an interesting point.
I would like to point out the repeat of the Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto quote. It can be seen again at the bottom of the page under the headline, "A Truly Great American" dated Friday, September 22, 2006.
I don't point it out to pick on you, but I think that it absolutely establishes a great point in favor of keeping ourselves armed. I personally don't own a gun, but criminals don't know that... unless one of your audience members.... you know what I am getting at.
By being given the right to bear arms, my family is safer. Whether I am armed or not. If someone has enough balls to call my bluff, they would have committed the crime regardless of any gun law. They'd use sharp rocks or something.
actually, I guess that is a comment about the article.
David,
I agree with you that we are safer because we have the right to keep and bear arms and defend our homes and persons'. However, by not having a gun, you are certainly not as safe as you would be if you were exercising your rights.
PA has some pretty lax gun laws.
Just making an observation...
