Ok i am getting out of this thread but wtf are you talking about ? Less guns sure as hell dont make it safer !! the number one cause of death the past 100 years is democide not homicide or suicide you dumb shit! Governments routinely murder millions

So Here’s a short list of government mass murder carried out throughout the past 100 or so years, almost ALWAYS immediately following the disarmament of the public (and usually involving staged false flag events to justify the disarmament):
50+ million dead: Mao Ze-Dong (China, 1958-61 and 1966-69, Tibet 1949-50)
12+ million dead: Adolf Hitler (Germany, 1939-1945) – concentration camps, civilian deaths and dead Russian POWs
8+ million dead: Leopold II of Belgium (Congo, 1886-1908)
6+ million dead: Jozef Stalin (USSR, 1932-39)
5+ million dead: Hideki Tojo (Japan, 1941-44)
2+ million dead: Ismail Enver (Turkey, 1915-22)
1.7 million dead: Pol Pot (Cambodia, 1975-79)
1.6 million dead: Kim Il Sung (North Korea, 1948-94)
1.5 million dead: Menghistu (Ethiopia, 1975-78)
1 million dead: Yakubu Gowon (Biafra, 1967-1970)
900,000 dead: Leonid Brezhnev (Afghanistan, 1979-1982)
800,000 dead: Jean Kambanda (Rwanda, 1994)

A “monopoly of force” in government is FAR more dangerous than a crazed lone shooter
So yes, James Holmes The batman killer and other crazed shooters kill a number of people each year in random acts of violence. It’s horrifying and wrong, but it’s nothing compared to the millions of lives that governments tend to destroy when they gain total power over the populace.
The most dangerous thing in the world, it turns out, is not a crazy person with a rifle; it’s a government with a “monopoly of force” over the entire population. And that’s exactly what the UN spells out as its goal for the world: Stripping all power from individual citizens and handing “monopolies of force” to the governments of the world, faking their positions as the only “legitimate” power on the planet.
BAN CARS BAN GUNS HURRR HURRR, fucking sheep
This idea that the populace needs to have guns in case the government wages war against them is completely ludicrous. A group of people with significant military training are going to utterly annihilate an even larger group of people without such training, even if they all carry pistols. You act as if playing Gears of War qualifies you to defend against a tyrannical regime. What I find most hilarious is that you listed Rwanda among your examples, yet you fail to mention how the RPF utterly curbstomped the genocidaires because they had superior equipment and training. The RPF forces numbered about twenty thousand, compared to hundreds of thousands of genocidaires.

Also it would have been pretty much impossible for tutsi civilians to form some kind of organized force when they were singled out and killed at roadblocks, and ambushed in their own homes. One family barricaded in their own house and armed with pistols isn't going to stop hundreds of people with machetes and AK47's. You fail to realize that a lot of people didn't know what was even going on, acting as if they could band together and defeat a more well-armed force that's ten times their size is absurd beyond question.

By the way, none of the conflicts you brought up occurred in democracies, so I'm not sure why you even mentioned them. This thread is about gun control in the U.S., not gun control in nazi germany. I'm much less afraid of the former committing genocide against its own people.
