Does gun-control lead to genocide?

Conclusion

So what did we learn? I know... that's a trick question. If gun controllers were capable of growth, this debate would have ended in 1776, or when the first Democrat Government under Andrew Jackson started exterminating Native Americans, or when Lincoln's government allowed Sherman's march to the sea, or any of the other myriad abuses of power by governments.

Gun control is the belief that private citizens cannot be trusted with firearms, only governments can be trusted with such power. History shows the opposite, that there are few mass murders when both sides are armed, but states are statistically far more violent than individuals, and when only the state has guns, it usually doesn't end well for individuals (or minority groups).
