Gun control is genocide?
Do you agree with this statement? Democracy is equal sharing of power between the people and the government. Obama wants to force vaccinations and take away our rights to bear arms-we are heading into Nazi Germany here people!

You make a semi-valid point... the documented cases of genocide in the modern era have ALL occurred in nation-states that enacted some form of gun-control (and all ancient cases occurred when the state was the only one with arms or an army) !!
- The American West - we enacted gun-control against the Native Americans (arming them was a hanging offense)
- Ottoman Empire - gun-control was in effect against the Armenians, Assyrians and Greek minorities.
- Nazi German - Jews were stripped of citizenship, forced to surrender firearms.
- Soviet Union and North Korean genocides / famines - the state had the guns, the people - nothing.
- Ethiopia, Sudan, Rwanda... all the same.
Amusing that someone said "but vaccines are GOOD for you"... yes they are, though some have terrible side-effects including fatality among a small percentage of the population. NOT to mention your religion might forbid vaccines (1st Amendment).
It's NOT that big a step from a Government forcing vaccines to medical boards (I know it's NOT part of Obama-care) deciding that the mentally ill, homosexuals, Gypsies, etc should be carefully taken care of in "special hospitals".

that's an occasion of soliciting for specific techniques to very conventional questions. Are all genocides preceded by using potential of disarming the persons? No. even though it specific makes the activity much less complicated. An armed citizenry may be difficult (no longer no longer achievable) to subjugate. finally, it relies upon on the militia. Hypothetically, if the president ordered the mass confiscation of all very own weapons as a precedent to tyranny, the activity would desire to no longer be performed without the help of the militia. that's difficult. some would persist with orders. Any who take their oath heavily, probably does no longer (unlawful orders and such). I disagree with regard to the section human beings. They have been no longer subjected to genocide consistent with se, although the have been subjugated and chained to the reservations. They have been no longer disarmed as such the two. the militia in basic terms had greater appropriate and larger powerful weapons. technologies governed the day. i visit't think of of an occasion the placement a civilization grow to be wiped without dropping their "weapons". some have been wiped out in spite of their weapons. The Aztecs have been destroyed by using potential of disease by way of fact of Conquistadors. All of my comments are reckoning on the generic understand-how that "genocide" potential the finished or close to to end destruction of a fashion of existence or civilization. i'm a Constitutional student (I loathe the term expert) and that i coach training and do lectures on the priority. i'm inquisitive approximately way of the jist of your paper.......
