[The number of home invaders and criminals deterred but NOT killed probably outnumbers ALL the deaths.]

In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. 
From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend 
themselves, were cut off from their food supplies and starved to 
death or rounded up and exterminated.

In 1911, Turkey established gun control. 
From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend 
themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Germany established gun control in 1938. 
From 1939 to 1945, 10 million Jews and others who were unable 
to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

China established gun control in 1935. 
From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to 
defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Guatemala established gun control in 1964. 
From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend 
themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Uganda established gun control in 1970. 
From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend 
themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Cambodia established gun control in 1956. 
From 1975 to 1977, one to two million 'educated' people, 
unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. 
In 1956 no one in Cambodia could imagine total confiscation and 
citizen enslavement in the "foreseeable future", ... 
but per capita, more citizens were eventually murdered 
by their own government than in any other country in history. 

TOTAL number of defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the
20th Century because of gun control: 53 million. And this is a VERY low,
conservative estimate.  Professor R.J. Rummel says it's closer to 
170 MILLION (see: http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/20TH.HTM ) 
ALL the governments which murdered their own people were 
COLLECTIVIST governments 
(see: http://FreedomKeys.com/collectivism.htm ) 

"Government power attracts despots and demagogues as surely as 
horse manure attracts horseflies." What? You don't see any such 
dangerous person on the American horizon right NOW? SO WHAT ?!!!
