Gun control is the main thing that allowed Russian tsars and Communist government to do whatever they wanted with "their" people for many hundreds years. Take weapon from the people and you are free do govern as you pleased. Still, the idea sounds very attractive. At first. But if we let it go it would be too late. How I know? I lived in Russia for 42 years. Got it just enough.
