Today, I was reading the August issue of American Rifleman and came across an article on page 88 from their March 1969 issue.
Intelligent people, which might include a couple inside the D.C. Beltway and a few Elites, can read history and learn something from it. So, lets see what we can learn about strict government gun control.
To make it more interesting let us do it in a form of a test. The answers are at the bottom after more of my commentary and history lesson.
REMEMBER THIS IS FROM MARCH 1969
1. This country's gun laws were almost perfect for anti-gun enthusiasts. The mere possession of an illegal firearm could send the violator to prison for life, without appeal. This country had the whole oppressive might of the world's largest police state.
A. Canada
B. Soviet Union
C. United States
D. Mexico
2. This country's gun control was administered by the Army. Private firearms were subject to registration. In 1969 the head of this country's hunting federation requested to have 7 guns registered. He was told that the Army had a 4 gun limit. After he objected he was told he could not have any guns.
A. Mexico
B. United States
C. Soviet Union
D. Turkey
3. After reviewing the homicide rates per 100,000 of population below, Select the country that the rate represents.
1965----13.6 per 100,000
2009----14 per 100,000
A. Turkey
B. Soviet Union ( No, they weren't around in 2009)That didn't work out well.
C. United States
D. Mexico
Surprisingly the gun control laws in the U.S. have gained strength over this time period thanks to hardworking people dedicated to retain our 2nd amendment rights.
So how has history taught us anything? Consider this:
Homicide rate per 100,000
Mexico United States
1965 13.6 5.14
2009 14 4.96
If it ain't broke don't fix it. What is broken, and history bears that out, is strict gun control laws. The phrase " if guns are outlawed only criminals will have guns" is used about as often as "kicking the can down the road". The sad fact is, both are correct.
