Since more than one of you took what I said to mean that, let me clarify.
The reason I brought up the holocaust was not because I thought guns would have prevented it. I brought up how recently it happened to illustrate the immaturity of our society and the danger citizens can still face from their loving big brother.
I agree a government can't be "afraid" of anyone. Its not a person with emotions.
I also agree that you can't stop a tank with guns... you can stop a tank without anything at all. You only have to reach the man inside the tank.
