The chances of it happening while the 2nd amendment remains in place are far below .1%. .00001% Maybe? Disarming the public is not a sufficient step for authoritarianism (obviously, there are lots of countries with hard gun control that aren't authoritarian). But disarming the public is a necessary step for successful authoritarianism. Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, Hugo Chavez... all had disarmed populaces when they committed their atrocities. Yes, atrocities happen even when the populace has some access to small arms but it is dramatically harder to wipe out an ethnic group when they are armed.
