Answer me this.

[Assur]

I seem to recall that Hilter rounded up a lot of guns to get them out of the way before he took office. I mean, it's just how this sort of thing works.


In a well armed society, dipwads like Saddam wouldn't have lasted long. Somebody would have done blew his head clean off.

Have to disappoint you there. There was no roundup of guns in Germany in 1933. The gunlaws pretty much remained the same. As regards Iraq, the population has already had access to guns under Saddam, an AK-47 in every household ^_^ , nowadays of course American Soldiers regard possesion of handguns as proof that the owner is a jihadi!

If you base your rulership on force you need an efficient security service to prevent the opposition from organising and an army with heavy weapons. A disciplined force can take on ten times their number of disorganized civilians with handguns. If the army is prepared to use its heavy weapons ruthlessly they can win against even steeper odds!
