You think it can't happen here?  That's what the Jews thought.  That's what the Turks thought.  That's what the Ugandans thought.  That's what the Cambodians thought.  That's what the Chinese thought.  That's what the Russians thought.

Switzerland has the lowest gun related crime rate of any civilized country in the world.  Switzerland is known as one of the most peaceful nations in the world.  Switzerland issues every household a gun!  Switzerland's government provides military firearms training  to every adult and issues them a rifle that they keep at home.

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!

DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.
