Gun control -

Yes, looking back on history, the Nazis banned Jews in 1938 from ‘acquiring, possessing, and carrying firearms and ammunition, as well as truncheons or stabbing weapons’.

If say the US authorities decided to disarm Americans in the same way, the question posed might be 'why this is so after the Jews’ experience with the Nazis?'

Also, the Soviet and Chinese tyrannies did the same to their peoples before embarking upon mass slaughter. Illegal gun ownership under Stalin carried the death sentence and the population was at the mercy of a man who did not even acknowledge the word’s existence. Tens of millions were murdered or starved to death.

Tyrants always seek to disarm the target population before they move in for their final takeover. Looking, for example
at the actions and behaviour of the police in the US in recent times, who can tell what the future may hold.

An un-armed population is less likely to fight back in the US.
Not that they stand a chance against the might of the over the top armed police and homeland security but if armed they would certainly put up more of a fight if or should I say when it does kick off in the States.
I totally get what Richie is saying in his piece and of course it is far too early to know anything other than what has been reported, however, previous coverage of mass shootings have been
picked apart so it is inevitable that scepticism is there straight away.
I don't know who the person is that Richie is referring to and it is madness to jump to conclusions but the fact that the shooter is still alive, at the moment anyway, is a different narrative to most of the other mass shootings.
Time will tell I suppose.
