This one has it's own wiki page, did you know that?
Truth is, people with and without guns are about equally as likely to fight back against their state - which is to say not very likely at all. It's a shame, really. People ask how high even when they have an arsenal in their house. That's what we actually do, as opposed to what we wished we did. The issue with leaving piles of guns in private homes, from the perspective of a jack booted thug - is not that the owner of the house is a threat. It's that insurgents will get those guns, one way or another - and that's why they confiscated weapons. Not because they did or had anything to fear from the people who had them at present.
In the dystopian scenario, OLB, guys like you and me are ammo dumps, not the resistance. Most of the party members in the nazi state, specifically, were just go-along types. They had weapons, didn't necessarily agree with the state, and, by a point, had every reason to use them against the state - but didn't. Didn't use them against the occupying forces after the war either.
Quote:The Nazi gun control argument is a belief that gun regulations in the Third Reich helped to facilitate the rise of the Nazis and the Holocaust.[1][2][3] The majority of historians and fact-checkers have described the argument as "dubious,"[4] "questionable,"[5] "preposterous,"[6] "tendentious,"[3] or "problematic."[2] This argument is frequently employed by opponents of gun control in debates on U.S. gun politics. Questions about its validity, and about the motives behind its inception, have been raised by scholars. Proponents in the United States have used it as part of a "security against tyranny" argument, while opponents have referred to it as a form of reductio ad Hitlerum.
Few German citizens owned, or were entitled to own firearms in Germany in the early 1930s,[2] the Weimar Republic having strict gun control laws.[8] When the Nazi party gained power, some aspects of gun regulation were loosened, such as allowing firearm ownership for Nazi party members and the military.[5]:672 The laws were tightened in other ways. Nazi laws systematically disarmed "unreliable" persons, especially Jews, but relaxed restrictions for so-called "ordinary" German citizens.[5]:670,676 The policies were later expanded to include the confiscation of arms in occupied countries.[9]:533,536
