Thank you Parker!!

And shame on you Mr. I've got a lot of guns and don't nobody stand in my way 
Chris Bennet for bringing this up on the list without defending yours and 
our Second Amendment rights and leaving it open without debate to the knee 
jerk reaction to ban all guns.
It's a terrible thing that happened! But gun control won't solve it. 
Unregistered guns, serial numbers filed off. Face reality!

Yep, the technology is there to control all sorts of behaviour. I can't 
think of any reason why, in a democracy where rule of law is subject to the 
whim of the majority, that Scirocco owners shouldn't all be under suspision 
for some politcal reason or another.
Think about it!
Dan

This is from a post on a Honda rincon forum(atv). Not trying to fuel a fire
or anything, just thought this was interesting. I think less gun control,
less crime.


"GUN CONTROL HISTORY & FACTS:

Whether you agree or not, it's an interesting lesson in history.
Something to think about...

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. 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: 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 American evening news or hear our
president, governors or other politicians disseminating this
information. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and
property and, yes gun-control laws 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'.

If you value your freedom, Please print and spread this anti-gun control
message to all of your friends."
