Why I carry a gun. Subject: FW: Why I should carry a gun �The "Gun History" part is interesting.� [cid:D82F44E4AAF847F0858E6502F35D7270@CYNDI] This just about says it all.� Now I wont have to explain my guns and the use of them... PEOPLE ASK� WHY?��� Why I Carry a Gun[cid:8A63CB1BF2B748E795CF94BB0B5FF6C8@CYNDI]� My old grandpa said to me son,' there comes a time in every man's� life when he stops bustin' knuckles and starts bustin' caps and� usually it's when he becomes too old to take an ass whoopin'. I� don 't carry a gun to kill people. I carry a gun to keep from being killed. [cid:28F6AA9FDE064DD2A1371A1C5BD3ADE4@CYNDI] I� don 't carry a gun to scare people. I carry a gun because sometimes this� world can be a scary place. [cid:2777B9FD1D99492DBD0338321D7430B2@CYNDI] I� don 't carry a gun because I'm paranoid. I carry a gun because there are� real threats in the world. [cid:E94CCD39591843FABA777264A9B450C4@CYNDI] I don 't carry a gun because I'm evil. I carry a gun� because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world. [cid:8B379B751C97456E8ACC77CE6E0EEBA8@CYNDI] I don 't carry a gun because I hate the government. I� carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government. [cid:742C9B7193F54B5D9C8382940788650C@CYNDI] I don 't carry a gun because I'm angry. I carry a gun� so that I don 't have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for� failing to be prepared. [cid:8.4068425705@web46402..mail.sp1.yahoo.com] 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. [cid:2C408640A7FA4831B6983A815F5BFBD4@CYNDI] I don 't carry a gun because I'm a cowboy. I carry a� gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a� cowboy. [cid:C2096F7EE5F94F7DBD61FC2FD3C27AF1@CYNDI] I don 't carry a gun to make me feel like a man. I� carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the� ones they love. [cid:A5C812E51A0440AA98CF4FCD5CE1BBE8@CYNDI] I don 't carry a gun because I feel inadequate. I carry� a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am� inadequate..

[cid:8066FEF392694F3F911414F10C878384@CYNDI] 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.

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: � List of 7 items: � 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. [cid:168D9E4C2C5D4E7B952F592D8F3604B7@CYNDI] � 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 them of this history lesson. � With guns, we are 'citizens'.� Without them, we are 'subjects'. [cid:10467C3633B44738812592EB90997D75@CYNDI] � During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade� America � because they knew most Americans were ARMED! � If you value your freedom, please spread this anti-gun control message to all of your friends.

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 GOVERNMENT TRAINS 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 TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.���� I'm a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment!
