You've got a lot of company:

What Dictators/Mass Murderers had to say about Gun Control

*"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the
*subjected people to carry arms; history shows that all conquerors who
*have allowed their subjected people to carry arms have prepared their own
*fall." -
Adolf Hitler

*"Both oligarch and tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them
*of their arms."
- Aristotle, Politics Ch 10 para 4.

*"1935 will go down in History! For the first time, a civilized nation has
*full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more
*efficient and the world will follow our lead to the future!"
- Adolf Hitler

*"If the opposition (citizen) disarms, well and good. If it refuses to
*disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves."
- Josef Stalin

*"Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."
- Mao Tse-tung

*"Only the police and Military should be allowed to have guns."
- Stalin Rock (Canadian Justice Minister)

*"Gun registration is not enough"
-Attorney Generral Janet Reno--12-10-93--Associated Press
