LD,
This is a good reminder. The last century involved at least 250,000,000 souls murdered by their own governing powers. This is what is available from records. Weapons had to be identified first in most cases. That was followed by the imposed presumption that the owners had to obey the military or political authorized for the greater good or some such reasons.
Confiscation /gt stealing followed. Eventually as was politically expedient, mass murder was the result.
Much like the atheistic drive within many authoritarian regimes to murder is that of silencing the gospel.
