Not sure if it would have happened or not but I guarantee the soldiers would have had a harder time rounding people up if they were armed and willing to use the weapons to defend themselves. This is what Liberals want right here....another mass murder of people in America. To stop 1 school shooting they want to disarm everyone but the government who then can murder everyone...such a brilliant plan!
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?
Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?
After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat. Or what about the Black Maria [Government limo] sitting out there on the street with one lonely chauffeur — what if it had been driven off or its tires spiked.
The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!"

Who is " they" and when did "they" say they "want to disarm everyone"?
Only people I hear saying this are the folk involved with manufacturing, marketing and selling guns and ammunition.
The holocaust would have never happened if Hitler had been gassed harder either. Half of the holocaust wouldn't have happened if Hitler had been standing next to the bomb that went off in his bunker.
Hitler wouldn't have happened if the allies had not been so punishing with the Treaty of Versailles. he would have found a job, and tens of millions of people would have been spared.
Wold War I would not have happened if the Duke of Herzegovina had seen his assassin and ducked.
And the Titanic would not have sunk if the lookout had seen the iceberg sooner. Since a lot of very influential people went down with her, who knows how they would have affected the developments in E. Europe that came about 2 years later?
Anyone can spin the distant past any way that comes to mind, and none of it means squat. What's done is done forever.
