    Interesting roundup on the history and progression of gun control in 4 countries. The UK, Australia, China, and Germany. From 1900 to the present day.


    Some major findings and key points:

    1. The UK seemed to take the worst turn of events out of all of the examples they have cited there. They literally went from a 1990's Vermont level of gun rights to a totalitarian hellhole in 100 years. In 1900, the UK had NO gun control.

    2. The first sweeping UK gun restrictions were passed BECAUSE of the communist threat from USSR. So your country is facing potential attack from communist agents and sleeper cells and you respond by TAKING AWAY the one tool from citizens' hands that is the most effective in stopping such attacks if they happen?

    3. And due to those sweeping gun restrictions, the UK faced a critical weapons shortage during WWII and needed us badass Americans to come save you.

    4. Communist China forbade the carrying and then ownership of handguns in the 1950's, but long arms, including semi-automatics, were largely unregulated until the 1990's. Even through the chaos of the Cultural Revolution, the dissolving of the Gang of Four, and Tiananmen Square, the ownership of rifles were largely untouched. I remember my neighbor had a beautiful lever action big bore rifle when I was living in Shanghai in 1993. He came to our apartment to show it to me because my uncle had told him that I liked guns.

    5. China went full retard in 1996. I assume my neighbor had to either surrender his rifle or move way out into the boonies to continue to keep it. Gonna have to make a call to my uncle to find out. 1996 is the same year that mainstream Internet became available worldwide. The government probably thought that with the new influx of free information, letting citizens keep rifles might be a bit risky.

    They should not forget who supported them and inadvertently helped them into power in 1949. We can take that power away just as quickly if you continue going full retard with social credit scores and executing people who later turned out to be innocent of the crimes that they had been charged with. Sure, a bunch of us might die fighting but those who fight, are not afraid of dying one bit.

    6. The main pattern with the progression of gun control seem to lie in COMPLACENCY. In all 4 countries listed on that site. Good times create weak men. Throw the masses some stupid K-Pop or their Chinese equivalent, MTV, karaoke bars, pussy ass feminine dyed hairstyles and they tend to forget about the horrors of past wars, foreign invasions, and repressions.

    7. Gun policies in all 4 of the listed countries became the way they are now because good people did not stand up and stand firm when such actions counted the most.
     
    Need to fight voter fraud and we wouldn't have these problems.

    Taking non shooters on enjoyable range trips is another thing we should all be doing.


    The main weapon employed by statists worldwide is fraud. That is the main tool which allows them to take control over a formerly democratic process in order to fulfill their own goals.

    Another thing that I have deduced from the information on that chart, as well as the twentieth century crimes against humanity perpetrated by the communists at Holodomor, as well as the Nazi atrocities that are more well known:

    The percentage of those people, in any given culture and population, who are willing to commit overwhelming violence on behalf of their own loved ones and other righteous causes, are far outnumbered by those who are willing and able to commit violence for personal and financial gain alone. By overwhelming violence, I do not mean just killing an enemy by firing a gun, but by using any and all tools of lethal effect to kill, and mutilate those who are trying to harm them and their families.

    Throughout all of the cultures of the world, it appears that 60% of any given population are willing to commit violence in general. Of these numbers, MOST find "socially acceptable" outlets through the regime's law enforcement and military apparatus. The rest, are cold blooded criminals and predators who kill, rob, rape, and desecrate for the hell of it.

    There are many people in all cultures who are extremely doting and loving to their families and children. However, among those, only a few are willing and able to perpetrate acts of overwhelming and decisive violence in order to protect the ones that they love. And it is because of this fact, murderous totalitarian regimes have had so much success in terrorizing the world in the twentieth century going into the present day.

    I had watched a documentary featuring a convict who has been held in some of the most brutal high-security prisons in this country over the past 20 years from his involvement in a drug-related killing of a rival gang member. One of the comments that he made regarding the prison system explains what happens to the world when people choose to be defenseless and helpless, whether due to mental or physical incapability.

    "The Bible says that the meek shall inherit the earth... But within these walls, they are sucking dicks, day and night"...

    Being meek and helpless does not make you a "better" or "morally upright" person. It only makes you an easier SOB to kill. If I were someone who is facing certain execution in a shithole totalitarian country for a crime that I have not committed, I'd fucking do my best to fulfill what I have been charged with. You can't have me in irons 24 hours/7 days. One of these moments, I'd jump one of your guards in a lethal rear chokehold, arms locked so firmly around his neck that you'd have to kill my ass RIGHT THERE just to get his fucking carcass free of my grasp. If I am going to die anyway, why bother with the civilized bullshit? I'd cause as much fatal and costly damage as I can to your enforcement apparatus before you either kill me on the spot or render me a quadruple amputee so I cannot kill any of your cronies any more...
