All of these people required that their citizens relinquish their fire arms for the safety of all.(these are just the ones that come off the top my head for the 20th century.)
These men all salute you sir.

What in the blue hell are you talking about? Hitler did not require citizens to relinquish firearms. Prior to Hitler's reign, Germany had already enacted gun registration laws -- and those already exist in the US. The only gun-restrictive measure that took effect while Hitler was in power dealt with Jews and non-citizens. Plenty of citizens owned legally-registered guns under Hitler.
I don't know specifics about the other names on your list, but if you're going to botch the most infamous, I'm not going to give you the benefit of the doubt on the rest. Equally importantly, by your apparent definition of 'requiring citizens to relinquish their fire arms', every politician in recent world history that has passed any form of gun-restrictive measure (anything from registration to limitations on weaponry) would qualify for the list. The fact that you selectively choose the worst doesn't prove any actual point for people that realize what you're doing. Here's a list of people with brown hair:
Hitler
Stalin
Mussolini
Mao Zedong
Pol Pot
Saddam Hussein
Osama bin Laden
