Essentially, to facilitate remaining in power, and for self preservation. And for the full answer to that, let me turn to the recognized expert on the topic. Niccolò Machiavelli wrote Il Principe, The Prince, which most rulers of the past 500 years have had on their nightstand. While The Prince should take up a quarter of one high school civics or government class, one chapter in particular should be read and understood by every gun owner.

The title and chapter number varies with the translation, but it is usually Chapter XX, twenty, and the title usually refers to either castles or fortresses.

A faithful translation of that chapter will have a paragraph that could be summed up much like this, “There has never been a prince who was loved by his people who did not arm them; that they may defend him with their blood. There has never been a prince whose people hated him that did not disarm his subjects, that they may not overthrow him by force of arms.”

The W.K. Marriott translation is on the web at the Constitution Society website has it as Chapter XX, paragraph 2, ‘Are Fortresses, And Many Other Things To Which Princes Often Resort, Advantageous Or Hurtful?’

Breaking this very long and flowery paragraph up into a slightly more readable form:

Machiavelli should be required reading in every high school civics class.

Armed people don’t take well to dictatorships.

Disarming America is the democrat “final solution”

[doc1019]

Great point, something I had not thought of.

Easy answer: The Rats want the people disarmed because they know a free people will never choose what they have in mind.

Look at all of the other third world countries where the subjects are dis-armed.

The thugs in the District of Criminals envy the thugs that run those countries.

And if the communists Democratic Party cannot disarm us they will build a gestapo so huge they will take down any resistance. This is already in progress.

Until you have seen how 100 prisoners jump to their feet when one round is unexpectedly fired, you will never truly understand.

Thank you.

Well put ‘23. I see no difference between the reason why Hitler demanded the people under his boot rendered helpless to form up any sort of singular or organized resistance to his tyranny, via firearm confiscation, and the democrat’s reason......and that reason is the very term you stated.

Democrats are simply stupid.

Socialism cannot exist without tyranny.

At one level of explanation it is that the Demmunists will attack the Constitution on every possible front.
They will relentlessly keep trying to chip away at the Founding principles.

"Machiavelli should be required reading in every high school civics class. "

Reading should be a required skill in every high school.

[Lurker]

So they can kill us, of course. It’s our job to make them pay ten of them for every one of us.

Are you ready?

I'm currently reading a book concerning worldview topics that was just released, and it's very interesting. It basically outlines the philosophical underpinnings of the left, from ancient Greece and Rome up to the "Enlightenment," and then on to the late 18th century when things really kicked into high gear. If you want to understand what their true motivation is, get the book!

Years ago, I read that France never allowed the serfs to acquire skill with the bow, as the English did. The reason was that the French leaders found that when serfs were given arms to fight, when the fight was over, they were reluctant to return to being serfs.

The French had a preference for Genoise crossbowmen mercenaries.

It's really not that hard to understand their motivation...
