Mike, look at all the democratic countries that have strict gun laws for decades, like Britain and Australia. Or the island of Bermuda, with 58% black population, where the police are unarmed except for a small armed response unit. None of them have been replaced by dictatorships. So don't be so paranoid and fearful of an unarmed society. 

However, I am more wary of the US now. We now have a man who is an unhinged authoritarian who will be our president and many of his supporters are armed and dangerous who may or may not do anything to enforce his diktat. I hope I am wrong but his cabinet picks and admiration of Vladimir Putin do not give me confidence.
