Exactly right. History has shown that the cost of tyranny, servitude and oppression by unchallenged dictatorial government power is always greater than the cost of freedom. An armed population is the antidote. If all of Europe moved to American style less restrictive gun control and the European homicide rate increased to American levels it would still take over 400 years for Europe's criminals to murder as many people as the the German NAZI government murdered in 13 years. If you think it can not happen here, then not sure where you have been in the last two years. People have been propagandized to hate each other in the US. If you ever study genocides and democides, you would see that it is a multi-stage progression. Of which "hate" and polorization are required. Most people naturally have a normalcy bias. Majority of the Bosnians surely did when they gave up their guns (per the UN's urging) until the Serbs massacared them (Just to give a more recent example; 1995).
