determinist Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Supposedly, Benito Mussolini said the following quote. The measures adopted to restore public order are: First of all, the elimination of the so-called subversive elements. ... They were elements of disorder and subversion. On the morrow of each conflict I gave the categorical order to confiscate the largest possible number of weapons of every sort and kind. This confiscation, which continues with the utmost energy, has given satisfactory results. According to websites quoting that, he said that when addressing the Italian senate in 1931. One example is here. Can anyone confirm or challenge the credibility of this quote? Does anyone know of any dictator quotes on gun control besides Mao's quote about political power growing from the barrel of a gun? Thanks.

2046 Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Yeah there's a bunch of Nazi officials, like Joseph Goebbels, who have some quotes to the effect of: gun ownership is for the State only, citizens owning guns serves no purpose for the greater good, if citizens want to use guns, they should join the Wehrmacht or SS.
