Hitler confiscated guns before killing over 13 million people. Stalin confiscated guns before killing over 20 million people. Mao confiscated guns before killing at least 45 million people. Every mass murdering dictatorship took the guns before killing large amounts of people.

Yes you’re right but it’s a logical fallacy to assume the opposite. Especially since there’s lots of examples of countries that limit guns that are not and will not turn into dictatorships. Nice try though :)
That there are places where this hasn't happened reduces the risk. It doesn't reduce it nearly enough to justify ignoring the risk.

Dictators loves people kill between them easily. In Europe people don’t sleep with a gun in the night table and all people feel safe. Guns in America is a cultural phenomena of a violent society.
-
In other words ... in Europe people trust government so much that they enjoy that the government has the huge centralized power of all guns, as if a democracy is never going to turn into dictatorship. In USA or Switzerland, people does not trust government so much.
-
Oddly enough, it's the countries with the toughest gun control, i.e. that put high trust in those strangers called government, that have been historically the biggest victims of dictatorship.
-
historically ? past is not future, the love for guns in america is a complex cultural phenomena of a violent society. In spain, police have almost have to ask permision to use a gun.

I get that, it’s a risk. But this is all assuming people with guns will reduce that risk. This isn’t 1850 anymore. Governments now fight with high tech, expensive weapon and I’m not sure if citizens with simple guns can stop them? Maybe, maybe not.

Guns in the hands of common folk are merely a slight inconvenience to any real effort of mass annihilation.... in the modern times we live in today.

The US military has been unable to control Afghanistan. And Iraq. There's a 0% chance they put down a massive, popular rebellion stateside without first confiscating guns.

Agreed @claytonArnalll. If we follow this thinking, then everyone individual should have access to nuclear weapons just in case they need to defend themselves against their governments that might turn into a dictatorship. Having a gun won't help against a professional army.

@NickSzabo4 I had been 1/4 convinced you were Satoshi. God help me and my investment money if you are. I thought you were a super intelligent guy. You are meant to understand game theory. I can't even believe you are pro guns, let alone writing Tweets like this.
