No one has seriously suggested disarming all citizens here.

All Godwining aside, these comparisons aren't really helpful or instructive IMO. Whether one is talking about the government, the culture or the reasons for wanting to control access to guns, the US isn't Syria or North Korea or Nazi Germany. The "gun problem" (for want of a better term) here is a product of our history, our culture and our constitutional government.
