:::: ThomasB, I appreciate your rebuttal of CillaHunt's silly and insensitive remarks.  Genocide has occurred multiple times and each time it was preceded by [[gun control]].  It doesn't take a genius to understand why.  Airplanes, armor and artillery, by the way, are not the tools of genocide.  Rather, genocide is perpetrated by neighbors with state-provided guns taking away victims who lack guns to defend their families.  Can that happen without [[gun control]]?  It never has, and I think the answer is "no".  But I'm open-minded to listen to coherent arguments, if any, that [[gun control]] is irrelevant to the ability to carry out [[genocide]].--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 13:57, 24 December 2007 (EST)

:::::Thanks for your explanation. I had interpreted the article as saying that gun control was the reason for the genocides, not that it was the reason it wasn't able to be prevented. [[User:ThomasB|ThomasB]] 14:02, 24 December 2007 (EST)
