Wouldn't you say there is a direct correlation with the right to legally own a gun and despotic government?

Mexico has gun control and the Drug cartels have killed over 50,000 citizens in the past six years. Maybe this is an extreme situation, but who knows how things can escalate out of control when people have no enforcement power to protect themselves.

The Nazis did not have a lot of problems with private firearms. In fact, hunting and shooting clubs came to new heights during the Nazi era. Gun banning laws were only introduced after the war.

What you fail to realize is that Dictatorshhips develop out of the midst of a society, its hardly ever fringe groups forcing their will on the majority of people.

I also did not see a rise of the american people when the Patriot act came into being, argueably the largest assault on basic rights in the US ever. This is how dictatoships develop, quitely, with hardly anybody noticing at first and with a lot of initial support.

So can that argument.
