So the basis of that dribble is that if the citizens of Germany, Russia,
Japan, etc had been armed that there would not have been as many deaths
or the dictatorships would not have happened?
I don't think so.
The pro gun mob always wheel out this sort of thing because it is easy
to understand by the average gun owner, however the reality is that you
can't fight a modern army with the stuff you buy at walmart. Sure back
in the day when the most sophisticated military hardware was rifles and
cannons, you could fight an army but these days airpower is the key to
victory and I did not see any fighter jets or attack helicopters in the
gun shops. Perhaps Wilton has a B-52 stashed away in the back yard, just
in case or a few might have build a mini drone to spy on the neighbours
but I really can't see that doing much.
However I am happy enough for the gun crowd to have their little
delusions if it makes them feel happy and secure.
No point in alarming people.

I echo Max's view. This was indeed an interesting read.
The main reason the pro-gun community opposes National registration is fear
of government (including our own). I'm certain that some on this list
believe that fear of our own government is simply nuts, paranoia. I'm just
as sure many Weimar Germans felt that way too; after all, Germany was the
most civilized country on the planet.
I encountered this little clip that may provide some historical perspective
and food for thought:

I haven't audited the numbers but, from memory, they are at least close.

Thanks for sharing that link, always enjoyable to read a well-reasoned and
researched explanation of any part of our constitution.
