When Dictators Come to Power the First Thing They Do is Take Away the Peoples Weapons.

When Dictators Come to Power the First Thing They Do is Take Away the Peoples Weapons.

“When dictators come to power, the first thing they do is take away the people’s weapons. …I do not believe that [our nation’s leaders] have any desire to impose a dictatorship upon us. But this does not mean that such will always be the case. A nation rent internally, as ours has been in recent years, is always ripe for a ‘man on a white horse.’ A deterrent to that man, or to any man seeking unlawful power, is the knowledge that those who oppose him are not helpless.”
– Ronald Reagan
