Who will disarm the population and how? Answer me that and the rest falls together.
Just having a gun/firearm/weapon does not mean you have the balls to use it..
in my experience most DO NOT.. will not.. and would die before using them..
They just want them for a threat.. but would NOT KILL..
Overlooking “authorities” intimidating your family.. instead of you.. i.e. children, wives, relatives.
The bad guys(authorities) KNOW THAT... you do NOT..
They come in the middle of the night.. you see.. bedtime..
Most(conservatives) would never SHOOT the authorities..
even wearing Nazi uniforms..
Democrats do not believe in LAW...
And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.
