I'm sorry, but you are absolutely delusional, or refuse to observe world events in history and going on right now. You need to stop looking at this emotionally and start using reason. Who killed more people, Stalin or all the US mass shooters combined? Edit: He is delusional and his ideas aren't based on any understanding of current events or history.

Wow, what a needless, toxic comment that attacks a person when it could easily attack an idea. It is amazing to me how prolific these types of arguments have become on this platform. I don’t understand why we continue to push arguments that equate to “you disagree with me and therefore are an idiot who cannot see what is right in front of them”

By this logic, do you think all of the other western democracies that do not have a right to bear arms are at risk of producing a Stalin?

  Absolutely, whether internally or externally. Many of them got a Hitler in the early 1940s and could have very well gotten the actual Stalin in the late 1940s. Crimea and Georgia got a Putin not long ago, but the rest of Ukraine managed to fight him off for now it seems. Looks like Hong Kong is about to get a Xi. It happens all the time, all over the world and has for all of civilization.
