“Certainly there are examples of countries where the people remain relatively free after the people have been disarmed, but there are no examples of a totalitarian state being created or existing where the people have personal arms.”

This pretty well sums it up.

No argument here. Well, maybe Waffler would try.

This should be evidence enough to those that wish to disarm the populace.

great observation

A government that seeks to disarm its people is a government that fears its people. A government that fears its a people is a government that has wronged and/or disrespects its people. And no such government is fit to govern a free People.
