You mean like they meekly gave up their guns in NOLA until the courts stopped them

There might some merit to this:

Seeking to understand why so many Germans followed orders during the Holocaust, Dr. Stanley Milgram, a Yale University psychologist, took out a classified ad in 1960 and 1961, inviting residents of New Haven, Conn., to take part in what they were told was a study of the relationship between punishment and learning.

A man in a white lab coat introduced the participants to a student, and told them to shock the student each time he made a mistake, increasing the voltage with each error.

In reality, the machine was a prop, and the student was an actor who wasn't shocked. Yet nearly two-thirds of Milgram's subjects gave what they believed were paralyzing jolts to a pitifully protesting victim simply because an authority figure -- the man in the white coat -- had commanded them to do so.

"With numbing regularity, good people were seen to knuckle under the demands of authority and perform actions that were callous and severe," Milgram wrote of his results, which were later replicated in nine other countries

Excellent post--and you can be sure Hillary is well aware of the studies. That is the real reason _why_ she wants to be _President_.

Nobody listens to her as a mere Senator any more than they listened to Adolf when he was a political agitator in a beer hall.

That study was brought to mind by this article.
