ORIGINAL: Cuckingcurious It has happened its called Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler do you need me to name more? No, there is no need for you to display any more ignorance of history. 1. Mussolini and Hitler came to power through popularist propaganda, much like Trump is doing now and no guns are stopping him. He didn't take over in a brutal crackdown, he was democratically elected by a nation which was utterly misled. An armed population would have just meant fewer Jewish refugees escaping. 2. Stalin came to power many years after the October Revolution through party affiliation. The party had absolute power over the Red army. Nothing really stopped a BT-7 or a KV-1 circa 1940, guns wouldn't have helped. Once again you're listening to conservative talking points which are appealing to your fears. Take some courage, your population doesn't need to arm itself. Hitler was NOT elected, he was appointed as chancellor by Hindenburg who was not exactly electeted.. Nine parties ran in the parlamentary election so noone got the majority. He formed a coalation the price for Nazi support was the chancelorship. If you think Hitler grabbed power peacfully you need to go back and re read your history. Popularist propaganda. He grabbed power, but he did so with the will of the people. The academics of the time, what you would now refer to as "liberals", were the ones who opposed him. They did meet violent ends. But as has been pointed out, they're the demographic least likely to use violence. The people least likely to fight back were the first ones to die so nobody should be able to fight back. The will of the people had nothing to do with Hitlers power grab, it was pure politics taken out of their hands.
