What happens when governments disarm their citizens?

Here’s a history of what happens after governments have disarmed their citizens:

1911 – Turkey disarmed its citizens, and between 1915 – 1917 they murdered 1.5 million Armenian
1929 – Russia disarmed its citizens, and between 1929 – 1953 they murdered 20 million Russians.

1935 – China disarmed its citizens, and between 1948 – 1952 they murdered 20 million Chinese.
1938 – Germany disarmed its citizens, and between 1939 – 1945 they murdered 16 million Jews.

1956 – Cambodia disarmed its citizens, and between 1975 – 1977 they murdered 1 million Educated people.
1964 – Guatemala disarmed its citizens, and between 1964 – 1981 they murdered 100,000 Mayan Indians.

1970 – Uganda disarmed its citizens, and between 1971 – 1979 they murdered 300,000 Christians.
You can argue about the numbers, but the point here is that disarmed citizens are vulnerable and that there are many historical examples of disarmed citizens being killed and oppressed by their own government.
The excuse given by authorities that they need to take guns away from citizens in order to lower crime rates is not supported by facts. Even if a government does not turn on its own citizens after disarming them, people are less safe –
because unarmed citizens are easy targets for criminals. Over and over again, it has been clearly shown that taking guns away from citizens does not lead to a decrease in crime but rather a dramatic increase.
Australia has disarmed its citizens, and a year later the homicide rate in the largest province is up 300%. The burglaries of seniors are “dramatically” up.

I guess the criminals did not turn their weapons in. Only the innocent law-abiding citizens turned in weapons.
In US cities with the highest crime rates, taking guns away from the citizens has not lowered the homicide rate. All it has done is to make it easier for criminals to operate.
The 2nd amendment is not about duck hunting or deer hunting. It is about having the ability and the right to defend oneself and your family. It doesn’t matter if that threat is a burglar or the Federal Government.
A disarmed population is a fair game for any president who may be aspiring to become a dictator. Having its citizens armed was the plain and simple intent of the founding fathers of our country.
