You have to recall the historical context of these comments and feelings. Is it possible "thou shall not kill" is a dated concept? The more you allow any governmental agency to intrude on "the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness" of otherwise lawabiding citizens, the closer YOU are to losing a right dear to YOU. Like I said, don't own a gun, don't want a gun. It's the underlying prinpicle that counts. I was searching for a quote by a Holocost survivor commenting on his own passivity in the face of the Nazi's "coming for his neighbors" and he not speaking up. "When they came for me, there was no one left to speak up."

"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or native police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order throughout the occupied Russian territories, and a system of military strong-points must be evolved to cover the entire occupied country." Adolf Hitler, dinner talk on April 11, 1942, quoted in Hitler's Table Talk 1941-44: His Private Conversations, Second Edition (1973), Pg. 425-426.
