The problem is that there are lots of examples of gun confiscations that did not lead to mass murder as well. If we look at Britain, or Australia, or Japan, all those regions once allowed gun ownership on much more liberal terms than they allow today. In the transition from having a liberal gun ownership policy to having a strict gun ownership policy, guns were confiscated. But I don't see anyone saying that Britain has turned into a totalitarian dictatorship.
- talmand 13y agoI said much the same thing. I fail to see how it's a problem in any discussion about gun control and/or confiscations. Some people would claim is on its way to totalitarianism considering the rise in government intrusion and control in people's lives. But that's a different debate.
