No one had a bigger gun give away program than Germany. Hitler gave them guns and snappy looking uniforms. Some were given tanks, flame throwers and bombers. That`s not what I would call "disarming the populace".No.....the countries that want to control their people don't want their citizens to own guns....
Europe made that decision in the 1920s when the countries their began to register and confiscate guns....by the mid 1930s, the German socialists then used the registration lists to confiscate guns from the various citizens they planned on murdering. The socialists then went on to murder 15 million innocent men, women and children...in just 6 years.
The one place this mass murder by the socialists didn't happen?
Switzerland, where they had civilians armed with guns....
6 years in Europe and they murdered 15 million people.
In the United States.....in 246 years of gun murder, the total gun murder number is about 2,460,000
So banning guns didn't save lives in Europe, it allowed the governments there, under the control of the German socialists, to murder 15 million innocent men, women and children.
Guns save lives, and prevent governments from becoming murderous......

That is why the Nazis despised Switzerland. Joseph Goebbels called Switzerland "this stinking little state" where "sentiment has turned very much against us." Adolf Hitler decided that "all the rubbish of small nations still existing in Europe must be liquidated," even if it meant he would later "be attacked as the 'Butcher of the Swiss.'"
The 1940 Nazi invasion plan, Operation Tannenbaum, was not executed, and SS Oberst Hermann Bohme's 1943 memorandum warned that an invasion of Switzerland would be too costly because every man was armed and trained to shoot. This did not stop the Gestapo from preparing lists of Swiss to be liquidated once the Nazis overran the country.
The other European nations were easily toppled and had little means to wage a partisan war against the occupation. Once their standing armies were defeated, the governments capitulated and the populaces were defenseless.
Only in Switzerland was the entire populace armed and prepared to wage a relentless guerrilla war against an invader.
When the war began in 1939, Switzerland mobilized 435,000 citizen soldiers out of a population of 4.2 million. Production figures for Swiss service rifles, which had firepower equal to those of the Germans, demonstrate an ample supply of small arms. Swiss militiamen were instructed to disregard any alleged "official" surrender as enemy propaganda and, if necessary, to fight individually. This meant that a nation of sharpshooters would be sniping at German soldiers at long ranges from every mountain.
While neutral, Switzerland was prepared to fight a Nazi invasion to the end. The celebrated Swiss Gen. Henri Guisan developed the strategy known as defense du reduit--an initial opposition followed by a retreat into the Alps, where a relentless war to the death would be waged. Most Swiss strongly opposed Nazism. Death sentences were issued for fifth-column activities, and proclamations against anti-Semitism were passed at various official levels.
There was no Holocaust on Swiss soil, something that can not be said for France, the Netherlands, Poland or most of Europe.
Wrong right off the top. Republicans don't want to GIVE anything to anyone. We earn it. Government freebies is a democrat thing.Giving everyone a gun
