I read that a general talking to Stalin about the occupation of America was interrupted by Stalin, who said that, "you don't occupy a country that has 200 million snipers".
Which would explain why the rats want to disarm the public - it should be pretty obvious by now that they share the dreams of Stalin. But, they're a little reluctant to carry the whole thing through due to the fact that the taxpayers are still well armed. And growing angry...
Stalin didn't have enough rifles to issue one to every troop, even the front line assault wave.
Meanwhile, we sent our privately owned weapons to the similarly "don't trust the people with guns", British to arm their Home Guard. Well, some of them, the rest were used by our own Home Guard, who patroled such strategic targets as dams and power plants.
Shortly after the end of the Cold War, a group of high-ranking American military officials were attending an international military conference overseas. One of the Americans asked his Russian counterpart if the Soviet Union had ever seriously considered invading the United States.
The Russian laughed and said, “Oh no.....you people have too many guns over there.”
