Quote:The idea that an uprising could have prevented Nazi rule of Germany is a fantasy at best.  The fact is that jews weren't just denied guns, they were denied all basic human rights.  Even if they were allowed to 'keep their guns' (which they didn't have because of the previous government and the result of world war I, not because of Hitler), the fight they could have put up against the S.S. would have been minuscule at best, and likely would have seen just as many -- if not more deaths because of resistance.

 

The same goes for the Russians fighting against the Bolsheviks.  Give them guns, and they'd just die faster.  Some people might prefer to 'go down fighting', but the fight would ultimately be fruitless.  

 

To say that gun control is popular among dictators, would be the same to say that military and police are popular among dictators, and we should do away with them altogether as well. 
Oh look, it's someone who actually knows something about history and some common sense.

 

And to add to the argument: The Bolsheviks took power in a military coup-de-etat which would have been impossible without them having ample firearms. The lack of gun control was actually a massive advantage to them.
