Subject: Why I OWN a gun...
Bill Keefer, former U.S. Marshal
Bill Keefer, Founder Fraternal Order of Law Enforcement
An armed society is a polite
society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his
life.
I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I
find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I
break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible
for everything I do.
Robert A. Heinlein

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.
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'.
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
purpose
of
fighting
is
to
win.
There
is
no
possible
victory
in
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
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
of
the
2nd
Amendment!
If
you
are
too,
please
forward.
