The broad sweeping statements of Fakuname plus others, which are to my view equally idiotic, cannot be based on ancient history. Nor even on limited examples. I have been told that it is proven that limiting access to firearms is a precursor to totalitarianism (or words to that effect). I want to see that proven, not by anecdotes, but by a proper study. Someone with proper credentials, who has done the research. No hearsay bullshit, but real meaningful work.
This will be published in peer reviewed reputable journals. Telling me to read a book, or vague statements like "it is history" is just another idiot spouting crap.
Show me the research or shut up!!!

I'm not submitting a research paper here for your benefit. Obviously you're either too obtuse, or simply too deliberately obtuse, to make connections on your own. A pity, but not my problem. Go read a book.
I'm using groper's insane obtuseness as an excuse to give him all the research he deserves: Memes.
"Der größte Unsinn, den man in den besetzen Ostgebieten machen könnte, sei der, den unterworfenen Völkern Waffen zu geben. Die Geschicte lehre, daß alle Herrenvölker untergegangen seien, nachdem sie den von ihnen unterworfenen Volkern Waffen bewilligt hatten."
"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so."
--- Adolf Hitler
I wonder who has a better grasp of history: Hitler or Blind groper?
