Australia's violent crime rate surged after they removed guns from the general population. And you've obviously never been to a gun show or you'd know that you cannot buy a weapon at any one of them without a background check; they are also well-monitored by the authorities.
Every fascist government has disarmed its citizens. If you've read about the African villages that have been annihilated recently, you know that Boko Haram, a radical Islamic group, does it before a massacre...it's the only way to ensure no resistance.
Closer to home, the government went door-to-door after Hurricane Katrina and confiscated the legal weapons of law-abiding citizens before they were forced to evacuate to mass shelters. Thugs still were able to smuggle weapons into the shelters and used the against the defenseless. There were rapes, robberies, beatings as a result...thugs doing what thugs do best.
