Chicago mayor, Rahm Emanuel announced a $250,000 fund to support church and community sponsored gun buyback programs in Chicago. This plan comes in the wake of Chicago’s already stringent regulations on gun stores, including an “assault weapons” ban and a “violence tax” on guns and ammunition.
Similar programs have been initiated in various cities in California, Arizona, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan and New Jersey. And while the number of weapons exchanged for cash cards varied depending on the city, statistics show that in all cases, these buy back programs have mostly failed to reduce gun violence. In a city like Chicago, where there have been 2,439 shooting victims this year alone, it doesn’t sound like a place you want to live and be unarmed.

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 1918 and in 1938$#%&!@*banned Jews from owning firearms. Then 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.
—————————— So it might be said that guns don’t kill people, gun control does!
