Democracy will cease to exist when someone comes up with a false final solution.

Look around the World and back in history, Hitler is a prime example. He came to power in Germany ravished by the Great Depression and a population who felt hard done by. He rode on the wave of support for his solution, which was to throw money at the problem and create jobs. While uniting the people against a common enemy they could blame for their downfall.

He didn't need to disarm the citizens, he used the to oppress others.

Hate is a powerful weapon. Combined with fear, it's a very powerful weapon.
