you know, I've heard hitler successfully removed (most) all guns from homes, making it illegal for citizens to use a gun prior to starting his campaign against Jews. Then he armed the troops to the hilt and went to town.
I've also heard that one of the countries in the EU (switzerland or sweden I think) REQUIRES every male old enough to shoot a gun and young enough to fire it straight (I think the cut of was something in the 60's or late 50's) to have a fully functioning military rifle in their home ready for use. The same article also noted that this country had the lowest crime rate in the world
