Or defend Now, not defense. (post published in the old pre BlogBis Blogger, 12/01/2004 )
The final onslaught against the weapons held by civilians is taking shape in Argentina . No matter whether they are legitimate users, collectors, hunters, lovers of weapons or citizens eager to care for property and life itself. On one hand advances the official project, on the other that of Senator Escudero, and add the official media.
The unarmed cases cited "successful" in England or Australia. I would like to recall some counterexamples. In 1911, Turkey provided for the civilian gun control. Between 1915 and 1917 wiped out more than 1.5 million Armenians. Winning the 1917 revolution the Soviet Union in 1929 sharply restricted the possession of weapons in civilian hands. From that year until 1953, some 20 million unarmed dissidents were exterminated. The best known is the German case. His civilian disarmament as Hitler was to be "model for the world." 13 million Jews, homosexuals, gypsies and other minorities were liquids. And there's more. China established the ban in 1935. Conveniently found political purges opposition disassembled, and loaded 20 million people between 1948 and 1953. Here in Latin America is worth the Guatemalan case. A prohibition of weapons in civilian hands in 1964 was followed by the extermination of Mayan Indians. More than 100,000. I could go to Uganda or Cambodia's Khmer Rouge, where gun laws served to wipe out the country's educated elite.
The ban of arms to civilians has facilitated totalitarian governments settled in large numbers about fifty-five million people. You ... Are you going to let you use it to join the list?
While
______________________________ maintain daily news smokescreen, is the constant onslaught of the right to possession (and eventually carrying) arms. About it every now and again the initiative of Senator Escudero, makeup now in the fight against insecurity. So, several friends have prepared Legitimate users are sending a letter to senators. They are copied, if someone wants to join this initiative:
Mr. / Senator / a:
In my consideration:
Argentina
As a citizen I address you covered in Article 14 of the Constitution that says all habitante de la Nación tiene el derecho de Peticionar a las Autoridades. En esta ocasión lo hago en referencia a la noticia que la Cámara Alta tratará un paquete de Proyectos de Ley para mejorar la seguridad.
Mi petición es puntual y precisa: solicitarle que NO de dictamen favorable al Proyecto con Número de Expediente S-441/10 (Ley de Control de Armas, Municiones y Materiales Relacionados) presentado por la Senadora Sonia M. Escudero.
Argentina cuenta con una de las leyes más restrictivas y exigentes de Latinoamérica, que sirvió durante muchos años como modelo en las Naciones Together.
is proven that the restriction and prohibition of the kind sought by the Senator, will only cause more traffic and INCREASE DANGEROUS WEAPONS IN THE CRIME, both violent crime, sexual attacks as violations of address . The gun crime will not go down quite the contrary, increase. Two telling examples of the problems that have led to such restrictions and prohibitions, are the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Australia.
since 1997 in Britain are banned firearms fist. By prohibiting the homicide rate in England increased by 50%. The restriction and prohibition contributed to increased criminal violence.
its foundations Senator says: "... the largest supplier of black market weapons is precisely the legal market. Craft production of weapons is almost negligible, and most of the weapons used to commit crimes have been stolen during an assault, sold by their original owners or diverted by corruption. "
However
does not refer to comments that 13 years ago FIST WEAPONS ARE BANNED in Britain and that the weapons used by the British Crime no longer come from the legal circuit, but they are 100% illegal, checked for contraband.
This is the most clear and convincing example INCREASED BAN ILLEGAL and not always legal guns become illegal because they were stolen from the city.
Another striking example is Australia, where after and prohibitively restrictive laws of 1973 and beyond, according to the "Australian Institute of Criminology," assaults rose 16 percent, Armed robberies rose 73 percent, and illegal arms entries increased by eight percent.
Therefore, in my capacity as a citizen of Argentina, I ask you to represent me in the Senate of the Nation, NOT FAVORABLE OPINION TO DRAFT S-441/10.
This is NOT a project that targets the illegal, is a project that further restricts the rights of citizens to comply with the law. This project promotes and encourages dangerous ILLICIT ARMS TRAFFICKING.
will approve this project then a grave error to be paid with the blood of more victims and will be worse with the passage of time.
greet with my highest consideration.
