The Turks disarmed the Armenians before conducting a sweeping Genocide.

Red China disarmed the population before Mao's Cultural Revolution killed 500,000.

The Soviets disarmed the population after the Bolshevik Revolution.



You could also add several countries that don't fit that agenda as well.

The point is that every mass murder committed by a Government came after disarming the population.

Sure, it's possible it would never happen here but are you willing to give up your own security in the hope that our Government remains honest and doesn't oppress it's people?

With an armed populace, you have a formidable resistance to keep a Government from ever going to the extreme. IT CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE. Don't think for one second that it couldn't.

The point he's making isn't about the current anti-gun crowd. Nobody rational is saying that the current anti-gun crowd wants to disarm the American population and slaughter them.

History shows how anti-gun laws are used by evil people. The good intentions of big-hearted people often eventually lead to some crackpot murdering millions. You don't have to only trust government power with the current administration or people you trust. You have to trust that power to any random a-hole that would ever be elected or appointed.
