A short history of gun confiscation
The Ottoman Empire – 1911

The Ottoman Empire existed in the region of current-day Turkey. That
government slaughtered millions of Armenians who were native to the
empire. A short history of the slaughter was published by the
University of Michigan. The university’s report noted that in 1911 the
empire achieved full gun confiscation. Between 1915 and 1917
approximately 1.5 million Armenians (out of a total of 2.5 million)
were murdered by their government. This mass murder has become known
as the Armenian Holocaust. The University of Michigan report also
discussed the formation of “Butcher Battalions” composed mostly of
violent criminals released from prison to kill ethnic Armenians.

Armenians who were part of the Ottoman military and discharged “…were
disarmed, placed into labor battalions, and then killed.”
Soviet Union – 1929

Soviet citizens were allowed to have firearms until 1929 when private
gun ownership was abolished. The repressive and brutal régime of
Joseph Stalin emerged at the same time that firearm ownership was
outlawed. Tens of millions of Soviet dissidents and others perceived
as threats to the government were rounded up and either murdered or
placed in labor camps or prisons and forced to work, sometimes to
their deaths during Stalin’s tenure. Stalin’s heartless indifference
for life combined with his extreme paranoia eventually led to the
purging of the Communist Party at the same time a total gun ban was
instituted. Stalin once famously said during the purge “If the
opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall
disarm it ourselves.” (This reminds us of a statement by
Representative Eric Swalwell, the first 2020 presidential candidate to
drop out of the race, when he said: “If Americans fight against gun
confiscation, Feds can nuke them.”)
Germany – 1938

Nazi Germany under the leadership of Adolf Hitler instituted gun
control in 1938 at about the same time he ordered the extermination of
Jewish men, women, and children. By the time the killing stopped his
murderous decisions resulted in the death of approximately 13 million
Jews and others from different unwanted minority groups.
China – 1935

The greatest mass murderer of the 20th century was China’s Mao Zedong.
According to the authoritative “Black Book of Communism,” an estimated
65 million Chinese died as a result of Mao’s repeated, merciless
attempts to create a new “socialist” China. Anyone who got in his way
was done away with — by execution, imprisonment or forced famine. The
Nationalist Chinese government established gun control in 1935. Mao
Zedong famously said on at least two occasions in speeches “Every
Communist must grasp the truth: Political power grows out of the
barrel of a gun.” Although he was likely referring to the use of
firearms in times of war given the number of Chinese citizens and
dissidents killed under his régime we presume that his “truth” applied
to gaining power by killing innocent people.
Cambodia – 1956

The year this Asian nation issued its total gun control edict was
1956, but the real carnage did not begin until several years late
during the regime of the demonic Pol Pot. Between 1975 and 1977, his
regime murdered as many as 1 million “educated” people in “killing
fields” that were later depicted in a movie by the same name.
Summary of World Wide Gun Control

160,000,000 to 200,000,000 people have been killed by their
totalitarian governments around the world. Some estimates are as high
as 262,000,000

There is a correlation between the citizens being disarmed through gun
control and the mass murders (see the summary above). There appears to
be a relationship between the mass murders and gun confiscation
imposed by rulers and despots who knew that the only way they could
continue to brutalize their people and stay in power was by disarming
them.
