Let us discuss facts and now weird hypotheticals. In the last hundred years, millions of people were killed when governemnts stripped the citizines of their weapons and subsequently murdered them.

To think it "can't happen here" is is not historically unsound - gernocide came frightengly close here in America, and it happened in 'civilised' socialist Germany and communist Russia. The diference that I can find, is we had an armed population tht would have revolted had our Japanese citizens been murdered. To think that we're just better people is hubris.
