The communism and National socialists didn’t subjugate their people? Huh?
Read it again. I said that the Commies and Nazis never subjugated an ARMED people.
I don't think any of us has any doubt that we'd already be living under a full-blown Socialist system if we weren't armed. Those western countries that have been disarmed, are steadily moving in the direction of totalitarian Socialist government because their people lack the means to effectively resist such changes.
The left is trying to do it here too, but they're forced to tread lightly because of the potential for armed rebellion.
Look at the response to the accelerated moves of the current Socialist regime. Gun sales here are at record levels, and they jump every time the regime violates a basic component of the Constitution. There's a lesson to be learned in that.
