Guns

It is no secret that I am an avid advocate for our second amendment rights. Here are 25 great reasons why...thanks for the reminder Holt.

Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do not.'

~ Thomas Jefferson

Warm & Fuzzy

I am finally finishing up my catch-up list from my long weekend away from the command center I call my desk. I forget how much I juggle on any given day. I have also had a chance to catch-up on my news reading and if I wasn't a pretty centered person looking at this mess as an opportunity not a catastrophe, I would be heading to the bars or the nearest ledge. In a strange way, the economic situation reminds me of a three stooges skit. But then again, there is humor in most things political.

Again, I am glad I am clinging to my guns and my bible. Many thanks to Kathy for sending this timely tidbit. Love you gal!

Rules from God for 2009

1. Wake Up !! Decide to have a good day.
"Today is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it" Psalms 118:24


2. Dress Up !! The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance; but the Lord looks at the heart."
I Samuel 16:7

3. Shut Up!! Say nice things and learn to listen. God gave us two ears and one mouth, so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking. "He who guards his lips guards his soul." Proverbs 13:3

4. Stand Up!!... For what you believe in. Stand for something or you will fall for anything.. "Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good..." Galatians 6:9-10

5. Look Up !!... To the Lord.
"I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me."
Philippians 4:13

6. Reach Up !!... For something higher. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, And He will direct your path."
Proverbs 3:5-6

7. Lift Up !!... Your Prayers.
"Do not worry about anything;
Instead PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING."
Philippians 4:6

A Little Gun History Lesson

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, 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,

some 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were

rounded up and exterminated.

----------------------------

Guatemala established gun control in 1964.. From 1964 to 1981, some

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:

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,

thecriminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!

It will never happen here? I bet the Aussies said that too!

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 him

of this history lesson.

With Guns.............We Are 'Citizens'.

Without Them........We Are 'Subjects'..

During W.W. II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they

knew most Americans were ARMED ! A Japanese officer had

attended Harvard Univ. 1919-1921 & was Naval Attache to the U. S. 1925-28.

Most of our Navy was destroyed at Pearl Harbor & our Army had been

deprived of funding & was ill prepared to defend the country.

It was reported that when asked why Japan did not follow up the Pearl

Harbor attack with an invasion of the U. S. Mainland, his reply was that

he had lived in the U. S. & knew that almost all households had guns.
