How has it worked for all of the countries with a disarmed populace? Please go on and answer with an actual answer, not another question.

If you're referring to Nazi Germany, obviously not very well, but our leaders aren't Nazis. and even if they were, the Army would/could decimate you and your gun toting pals with ease.

I'm referring to the majority of countries with a disarmed populace. How is that going?

I don't care for guns and don't own any and if I do it will be for protection in my home, so stop making a stupid ass of yourself.

But an armed populace is an incredible deterrent against government tyranny. You are dishonest to think otherwise and naive/stupid to want to give sole control of arms to ANY government. Even if the armed populace would get beaten by the military (just like we dominated the Vietnamese........), it is a better to have a population that can defend itself, even against losing odds, than one that is defenseless. You cannot, with any intellectual honesty, contest that.

If you are locked in a room and a 400lb slab of muscle is coming in to murder you, you would rather be able to adequately defend yourself than not, even if you end up dead either way. I don't have to even phrase that as a question, because unless you're an idiot I already answered it for you.

If you are the 400lb slab of muscle, you will be much more hesitant to go into that same room if you knew your target had the ability to defend itself than if it was defenseless.

There really isn't much more discussion to be had with you.
