Soviet Union 1918. 15 Mil citizens killed. Soviet satellites post WWII: Bulgaria, Hungary, East Germany
National Germany 1938 prohibited most from owning guns including all Jews. We know how that turned out.
CUBA 1959. 141,000 citizens killed.
Venezuela. 2012. Citizens dominated by the government.
Those are just recent and notable examples...and don't include the cess pool that is the Middle East.
Our Framers knew....no Nation is immune to this. They codified an armed citizenry making it very, very difficult for our govt to dominate us.
I am grateful
Forgive me for excluding a prepositional phrase I assumed to be self-evident: It's never happened in the U.S.
Look, democracies are fragile, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. History as shown us that repeatedly. But if you honestly believe your Glock is going to protect us from tyranny I legitimately fear for the future of our nation.
Apparently you've never seen "Red Dawn"! :lol:
