They have figured out that "soft tyranny", the "nanny state" is the way to go; less resistance from the populace, all the control.

Look at China. Without an armed civilian populous, the government is free to control everything about their lives.

For the short term...but tyranny does what it does and the logical next step is not soft.

How many millions of Tibetans died when Chinese soldiers said, "we'll protect you" as they disarmed them? There's something for you OP.

The history books are full of examples.
How about starting with our nearest example, England. They took their guns a little at a time, and look at them now. If we would not of had firearms we we would the same as them.
If we give them up, we will be the same as them, we may need them soon if the next few elections dont clean out these scum in DC.
If they are ok with Tyranny Lite as the English subjects are then they will think nothing is wrong with gun control.

Local police, state police from 4 states, St Tammany Sheriff deputies and National Guard units all violated the 2nd Amendment Rights of American citizens on US soil.

All of your questions will be answered.

Do  you see what's going on in Iran right now? People fighting a repressive regime that rules everything they
can and cannot do. They are in the streets fighting with their fists and throwing rocks while being fired upon
with automatic weapons.
You've got to hand it to them for their courage and defiance. Now picture all those men with a rifle in their hands
instead of stones....that's why we have the second A.

Oh, how about herding people into big rooms, locking the doors, and turning on gas to kill them?

Going door to door, rounding people up, and gunning them down?

Surrounding people in churches, locking them in, and setting them on fire?

There is no end to the horrors visited on people by governments.  Governments have such an outstanding record of murdering civilians they even have a special name for it... "genocide".  In the 20th Century governments killed more people that criminals by a very, very large multiple.

Our Government is on the verge of becoming very tyrannical.  But it won't happen as long as we are armed.  Hitler and Stalin could not have killed their millions if the people had been armed.
