The government wants you disarmed, so they can then NOT protect you from criminals. This is a communist strategy used throughout history. The government sends street criminals to kill and beat political opposition, while they deliberately order the police to stand down. It's a system of control.

We've seen this with Stalin & Mao.

The Government allies with criminals, and they allow people to be killed that are political opponents, while only protecting their political supporters.

I have friends in Venezuela. This is what they do there. No guns, but the government provides guns to gangs to harass opposition.

When they said they wanted to defund the police, what they really want is their own enforcement agency, one that enforces party policies and punishes political opponents.

Either way they won that battle: the police stood down all summer while the summer of "peaceful protests" happened, and the cut funding weakened the police who would enforce the laws on them.

Happened in Castro's Cuba.

Happened in Allende's Chile.
