The following table is from page 7 of the September 11th, 1999 issue of The Economist magazine, and is titled A League of Evil. It shows that in the twentieth century, 170 Million citizens were executed by their own governments, presumably for political reasons, while only 37 Million were killed in warfare. The next time you hear someone say that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution refers only to the National Guard or that guns should be possessed only for ''sporting purposes'', remember this chart. The citizens of these countries did not have a Second Amendment.

Civilians killed by governments in the 20th century, excluding war.

Deaths Excluding War Millions Era
Soviet Union 62 1917-1991
China (Communist) 35 1949-Present
Germany 21 1933-45
China (Kuomintang)) 10 1928-49
Japan 6 1936-45

Total deaths directly caused by
governments Excluding War 170

Deaths in War Millions
International 30
Civil 7

Total deaths in War 37

hm?

but what do they attribute to war?

Last I checked, the Soviets lost 27 million in war, although many of them were technically taken to German camps and killed there, I'd still count that as war.

Plus, I'd strongly doubt guns would make it better, probably worse

Yes, but it's also a mediocre MMORPG.
