Yet again thats not how tyrannies occur.. They occur through the use of secrete police, by dividing and conquering.. This idea that the second amendment is what protects us from our freedoms is utter nonsense. We have had no proof of it.. Furthermore we have no proof of tyrannical government needing to have a unarmed populace to get into power.. In fact its usually a armed populace that puts the tyrant into power to begin with!.. And furthermore the freedom of speech in the past has been curved multiple times with not a FINGER lifted to prevent it..

Jews were not allowed to fly the German flag or to display Reich colors. Citizenship become limited to "only that subject of German or kindred blood who proves by his conduct that he is willing and suited loyally to serve the German people and the Reich." A November 1935 law declared that "A Jew cannot be a Reich citizen. He is not entitled to the right to vote on political matters; he cannot hold public office.""

So what do you make of this? There was nothing "secret" about the rise of the Nazis. They literally just beat the **** out of anybody who spoke up against them. They were very public about it. Hitler was very public about his intentions.
Don't look at this like it's ancient history, and times have changed so much. There are many radical groups that would love to do the same thing, in many different countries. It would never have gone down like that in the US. The SA and SS would have been shot on site by gun toting American citizens.
The way the country is being taken over now is via rewriting history in schools, and media brainwashing.
As the saying goes, "Television is reality, and reality is less than television."
