America’s Changing Gun Laws Share Similar Ideals To Mao, Hitler, Castro and More

History has taught us that the first thing dictators do is disarm their populations before they begin censoring, imprisoning, and even killing those who oppose them.

Simply looking at the track record of nations who have stepped in to disarm their citizens entirely sheds light on the potential threat facing the modern and often “woke” state of America. 

Mao Zedong, the founder of Communist China, once said, “All political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The Communist Party must command all the guns; that way, no guns can ever be used to command the party.”

An estimated 65 million Chinese died due to Mao’s repeated, merciless attempts to create a new “socialist” China. Anyone who got in his way was quickly silenced or removed by execution, imprisonment, or forced famine.

Mao’s first action after taking control of China in 1949 was to take away all guns from the population. Anyone found with a gun post-confiscation was executed.

There are far more examples besides Mao. Hitler took guns from the Jews in November of 1938, and the Holocaust followed. Of course, Fidel Castro in Cuba thrust his nation into isolation and financial desperation, leaving them without any means to fight for their freedom when he disarmed his entire country. In recent history, it was the disarming of Venezuela that was the first signal of the nation’s spiral into despair. 

At a rally in Havana before Castro assumed power, he said, “This is how democracy works: it gives rifles to farmers, to students, to women, to Negroes, to the poor, and to every citizen who is ready to defend a just cause.”
