170,000,000. That's the number of civilians that have been murdered by their own governments in the 20th century alone. 170,000,000 men, women, and children who were defenseless to protect themselves. 170,000,000 victims of gun control. You have never seen anything like Innocents Betrayed. This story has never been told in a documentary film. In this powerful documentary produced by Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, you will learn how governments have historically deprived people of firearms ... and then wiped them from the face of the earth. 58 minutes that will open eyes. Destroy myths. Change minds. Save lives. "Only the police and military should have guns; private citizens don't need them." Innocents Betrayed shows what happens when the government alone has all power. "It's sensible to license guns and register their owners." Innocents Betrayed shows how licensing and registration were key elements to disarming populations, leaving them vulnerable to methodical slaughter. "America should follow the lead of the rest of the world— strict 'gun control.'" Innocents Betrayed shows how the "rest of the world" lost 170,000,000 innocent, non-combatant men, women and children. "It can't happen here." It already has. Innocents Betrayed documents mass murders and vicious brutality in the US as a result of gun control. The victims left disarmed and powerless, by law.

The Met Police in London launched a hard hitting ad campaign with the title: "Hide his gun and you help commit the crime."
It's aimed at girls aged between 15 and 19, it will focus on the six worst "gun crime" boroughs in London: Brent, Hackney, Haringey, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark.
Detective Chief Superintendent Helen Ball, head of the Operation Trident squad said of the teenagers: "Many of them believe that if they are caught with a firearm they will not be prosecuted for possession because 'clearly' it is not their gun. But if found guilty of gun possession, they will face a prison sentence, regardless of their sex."

Americans love their guns. The first battle of the American Revolution wasn't because of taxes or stifling freedom of press or freedom to assemble - but from the attempt by the British soldiers to disarm Massachusetts at the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The brigade sized American irregular element used guerrilla style ambushes against a half brigade sized element of British regulars, and the Americans won the day with small arms, to protect their guns.
Small arms, for those of you not in the know, are the pistols, shot guns, rifles, assault weapons, and some machine guns, carried and used by individual soldiers. These are usually differentiated from "light weapons," like RPGs, anti-tank weapons, some heavier machine guns which are "crew served" - that is, that need at least two people to operate. From gang wars, to civil wars, to army on army wars, small arms are almost always the most important weapons, because they are small, cheap, and require very little training to use.
About 80 million private Americans own about 200 million guns, about a third of the world's total of weapons. Pause and think about that for a second. The Vietnamese military and paramilitary forces probably have around 10 million under arms, and weapons for everyone else are outlawed. In China, around 7 million military and paramilitary, and gun ownership is strictly outlawed for others. In North Korea, around 6 million. Compare that to 8 million registered guns in New York City (which has fairly strict regulations by US standards), and 2 million unregistered guns. These three largest armed forces combined are outgunned about 9 to 1 by private Americans.
Demand in the US spiked for weapons this year, as Democrats took over the Congress and White House, causing a spike in international arms trade. Americans love guns so much, the American gun industry can't keep up - hence Americans receiving 27% of all international gun transfers. American suppliers sell 22% of international transfers (including 49% of military grade weapons), as American weapons have strong brand reputations of quality, and of course the cachet of American firepower. Not to mention the US finds it useful for countries to depend on the US (and not Europe, Russia or China) for military weapons.
The international small arms trade isn't a very big business - only around $4 billion in legal, reported small arms transfers reported in 2006. Compare that to about $6 billion per year in Apple iPod sales, or $3 billion per year in Tide laundry detergent. Of course the purpose of guns is not to make profits, but to be able to cause losses. In the US, about 31,000 people were killed by guns in 2006. Most of those deaths, about 17,000, were by suicide, and about 13,000 homicides. Gun violence is a much smaller preventable cause of death than other behavioral problems - about one in 6,500 guns will kill someone per year, generally the gun's owner. Compare that to the 440,000 smoking related deaths per year caused by the 47 million smokers in the US, where each smoker has a 1% chance of passively committing suicide each year.Americans love their guns.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — A Mississippi woman who was shot in the head not only survived but made herself tea and offered an astonished deputy something to drink, authorities said Friday. Tammy Sexton, 47, remained hospitalized three days after being wounded by her husband, who killed himself after he shot his wife. A bullet struck her squarely in the forehead, passed through her skull and exited through the back of her head, authorities said. She is expected to fully recover.
"There's no way she should be alive other than a miracle from God," said Sheriff Mike Byrd of Jackson County, Miss.
Byrd said deputies were looking for Sexton's husband, Donald Ray Sexton, earlier in the week to give him a document ordering him to stay away from his wife. Court records show he was put on probation for six months on April 9 for domestic violence.
He showed up at their home in rural Jackson County in Southeast Mississippi about 12:10 a.m. Tuesday and confronted his wife as a relative ran next door to call police, the sheriff said.
"She was at her bed, and he shot her right in the head," Byrd said. "Then he went out on the back porch and shot himself."
A deputy was greeted by the woman when he arrived minutes after she was shot with the slug from a .380-caliber handgun.
"When the officer got there she said, `What's going on?' She was holding a rag on her head and talking. She was conscious, but she was confused about what had happened," he said. "She had made herself some tea and offered the officer something to drink."
Byrd said the bullet apparently passed through the lobes of the woman's brain without causing major damage. She was rushed to a Mobile hospital by a helicopter.
While such cases may be rare, a neurosurgeon who wasn't involved in Sexton's case said such an outcome is possible. Medical journals also confirm people have been shot in the head with little or no lasting injury.
"There is a space in the brain where a missile could pass without doing any major damage. Is it possible? Yes. It would be rare," said Dr. Patrick Pritchard, an assistant professor of surgery at the University of Alabama-Birmingham.
The sheriff called the case bizarre.
"You just don't hear of something like this. Somebody gets shot in the head and they're dead," Byrd said.BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — A Mississippi woman who was shot in the head not only... more
Despite a recent spate of killings, the president and fellow Democrats choose not to wage war on assault weapons.
On the morning of April 4, Richard Poplawski had a quarrel with his mother. It was over a dog urinating on a carpet. Mom called the police to have her 22-year-old son evicted from her house, a brick ranch with a dirty aluminum awning in the Stanton Heights neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Two officers responded to the call, figuring it was a typical domestic dispute. Margaret Poplawski greeted them by saying, "Come and take his ass." But the younger Poplawski, who had been laid off from his job in a glass factory recently, had other plans. He went to a private arms cache in the house, retrieved his guns and strapped on a Kevlar bulletproof vest.
Poplawski shot officer Paul J. Sciullo II, 37, inside the house and hit 29-year-old Stephen Mayhle on the stoop. Both men fell dead. Poplawski calmly stood in the doorway and fired two or three more bullets into Mayhle's body, according to a police affidavit from a witness. Then he retreated into the house and fired hundreds of rounds, using an AK-47 assault rifle and other weapons to fend off a police SWAT team for four hours. He killed one other cop, 41-year-old Eric Kelly, and wounded yet another.
It was the deadliest day in the history of the Steel City's police department. When police finally apprehended and questioned Poplawski, he was without remorse. "He said he wishes he could have killed more Pittsburgh police officers," says a cop who was on the scene but asked not to be identified talking about an ongoing case. (Poplawski's lawyer did not respond to multiple requests for comment last week.)
There was a time when a creep like Poplawski would have become a potent symbol in the debate over gun control. He wasn't your run-of-the-mill malcontent. A white supremacist, he frequented the chat rooms of racist Web sites, where he posted screeds about a "Zionist occupation" bringing the country to economic ruin. But Keith Savage, manager of the Braverman Arms Co., where Poplawski got many of his guns (but not the AK-47, Savage claims), says nothing seemed amiss when he filled out Form 4473—the standard questionnaire for federally required background checks. The gun-shop staff had no way of knowing, for instance, about Poplawski's January 2005 discharge from the Marines for what Lt. Josh Diddams, a U.S. Marine Corps spokesman, tells NEWSWEEK was a "psychological disorder" (he had assaulted his drill sergeant during basic training, says Poplawski's mother). They probably also didn't know that Poplawski's former girlfriend had gotten a restraining order against him, later in 2005, after he grabbed her by the hair and threatened to kill her.
In the past, national political leaders might have raised troubling questions about how such an unstable character could obtain easy access to high-powered weapons. They might have been even more motivated given that Poplawski's cop-killing spree was part of a near epidemic of mass homicides that have left 58 people dead over the past month. Or given that Mexico's insanely violent drug cartels are arming themselves with high-powered assault weapons purchased at U.S. gun stores and later smuggled south of the border. Yet many past champions of stricter gun-control measures are silent. These include top Obama White House officials who have squelched any talk within the administration about pushing further gun-control measures."It's weird," says Peter Hamm, the communications director for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. "When you see people like [Attorney General] Eric Holder or Hillary Clinton or [White House chief of staff] Rahm Emanuel become muted on this issue, you feel like you want to call up a friend and say, 'What's up?'

'WEAPONS? DISCUSS...' is a consultation film made in collaboration with young people across Leeds. This film spearheads AMI's commitment to spreading the weapons awareness message amongst young people all over the UK. The project was born out of our desire to provide targeted participants with a programme of activity that could help them improve upon their existing ICT skills, whilst collaborating to produce a resource for weapons awareness practitioners within the community, as well as supporting emerging musical artists from around the city. The film features on a forthcoming DVD project aimed directly at schools and youth groups. This film stands in stark contrast to the majority of films exploring the issue of gun and knife crime amongst Britain's young people as it was created through direct consultation with young people. The film provides tthe young people with the oppurtunity to articulate their opinions on the causation, culture, and future of gun and knife crime, and thus the film offers an insightful view into the reality of the issue. The film was graded in a monochrome black and white and it was shot with high specification prime lenses.

’THESE STREETS’ is a music promo that we completed as part of a DVD-based weapons awareness project. It was commissioned by Leeds City Council through their ERDF funded RouteMap project and co-financed by ourselves at the start of 2008. This project was born out of our desire to provide a high quality resource for weapons awareness practitioners within Leeds and West Yorkshire. The project also gave targeted participants a programme of activity that helped them develop their ICT skills and an opportunity to be a part of something positive. A secondary aim of the project was to support local musicians and artists by creating two broadcast quality video promos that we hoped would raise their profile and promote the weapons awareness agenda at the same time. All the films in this project are dedicated to the memory of our friend, Pat Regan - the brightest light in the campaign against gun and knife crime. The beats for this track were produced by Tom Stewart (Breaking The Illusion), whilst the artists collaborating on the track are Kockee K, Low-Key (Yorkshire Terrierz), Dogge (Yorkshire Terrierz), Norty, K-One (CAG), Lady Ai (Afro Physics) and Pat herself.

Mexico's parliament is considering legislation to outlaw toy guns, with a ban on the production, import, sale, rent and use of plastic weapons of most kinds.
The proposed bill attempts to address a perceived increase in aggression among Mexican children blamed on the extreme criminal violence that has exploded across the country in the past few years.
Much of the real violence is linked to Mexico's drug wars, which fill the local media with tales of dramatic gun battles between rival trafficking gangs, or between gunmen and soldiers. Last year's official death toll in this war topped 5,300.
"The nation's serious problem of violence means it is urgent to take measures to control these kind of toys that do nothing to contribute to making a peaceful and aware society," the bill states.
Under the legislation, sanctions would range from confiscation of the offending toys and significant fines to the suspension of retail licences. The bill includes the promise of help for toy manufacturers to adapt their factories to produce more peaceful playthings.
The bill's proposers, from the leftwing opposition Party of Democratic Revolution, stress that the additional costs involved are more than worth it. "The cost we will pay as a society will be much higher if we do not do something to prevent behaviour in girls and boys that later develops into criminality," the bill says.
Legislation passed in 2002 already bans realistic replicas, but penalties are limited to confiscation and implementation has rarely extended beyond the odd police sweep during the Christmas period. Local programmes in different cities in which children received educational toys in exchange for their toy guns have also failed to drum up much enthusiasm.
Reporters from La Jornada newspaper easily found toy Kalashnikovs and other assault rifles on sale in street markets in Mexico City just before Three Kings Day on January 6, when Mexican children get most of their Christmas presents.
City officials also recently estimated that more than a third of armed robberies on the street were commited by toy guns.
* * * * *I think a ban is a good idea every where. The purpose of a gun is to kill and pretending to shoot someone with a toy gun perpetuates the idea that killing is a game.

The number of young black men and teenagers who either killed or were killed in shootings has risen at an alarming rate since 2000, a new study shows.
The study, to be released Monday by criminologists at Northeastern University in Boston, comes as FBI data is showing that murders have leveled off nationwide.
Not so for black teens, the youngest of whom saw dramatic increases in shooting deaths, the Northeastern report concluded.
Last year, for example, 426 black males between the ages of 14 and 17 were killed in gun crimes, the study shows. That marked a 40 percent increase from 2000.
Similarly, an estimated 964 in the same age group committed fatal shootings in 2007 — a 38 percent increase from seven years earlier. The number of offenders is estimated because not all crimes are reported, said Northeastern criminologist James Alan Fox, who co-authored the study.
"Although the overall rate of homicide in the United States remains relatively low, the landscape is quite different for countless Americans living, and some dying, in violence-infested neighborhoods," Fox said.
Seizing on President-elect Barack Obama's incoming administration as an opportunity for more funding, Fox added: "There is an urgency for reinvestment in children and families. In essence, we need a bailout for kids at risk."
The study partly blamed Bush administration grant cuts to local police and juvenile crime prevention programs for the surge in crimes by young black men and teens. Incoming Vice President Joe Biden has promised funding to put 50,000 new police officers on the street to help bring violent crime rates back to a decade-long annual decline that began in the mid-1990s, after then-President Bill Clinton provided local officials with money to hire 100,000 new cops.
Nationwide, the number of murders and violent crimes overall dropped last year after increasing in 2005 and 2006, according to annual data compiled by the FBI. Overall, however, murders have risen by about 8 percent between 2000 and 2007.
The FBI reported 10,067 arrests in murder and non-negligent manslaughter cases in 2007. Half of the people arrested — 5,078 — were black. Almost 10 percent of black people arrested for murder were under age 18, the FBI data show.
The number of young white men who committed gun-related homicides also rose over the same period, the Northeastern study showed, but not as dramatically. In 2007, an estimated 384 white males age 14 to 17 shot someone to death, up from 368 in 2000.
The numbers of homicides committed by women and teenage girls — whether black or white — were relatively few, the Northeastern study found.The number of young black men and teenagers who either killed or were killed in... more

"A South Philadelphia man enraged because a father and son were talking during a Christmas showing of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button took care of the situation when he pulled a .380-caliber gun and shot the father, police said.
James Joseph Cialella Jr., 29, of the 1900 block of Hollywood Street is charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, and weapons violations.
"It's truly frightening when you see something like this evolve into such violence," said police spokesman Lt. Frank Vanore.
Police were called to the Riverview Theatre in the 1400 block of Columbus Boulevard about 9:30 p.m. where the gunshot victim, a Philadelphia man who was not identified, told police a man sitting near him told his family to be quiet and threw popcorn at his son."
