Wouldn't it help squash dissent if you disarmed them? Just saying. Of course they take the guns and leave the population defenseless.

Actually, the first order of business the totalitarian regime took was to make sure The People have no knowledge of America's founding principles of freedom. That's why today there's no national curriculum teaching Americans how to abide by and convey America's founding principles. This is called elected despotism.
It's already occurred in America when Americans elect people to office who don't know how to abide by and convey America's founding principles. In America, the proper way to correct elected despotism is by impeachment.
The regime has the support of the military. It encourages you to have a gun and they hope you use it. The less we know about abiding by and conveying the power of America's founding principles, the less virtue we express and the more conflict and chaos we're forced to suffer projected by the lower-level mental energies that create violence and victimizing as expressed by the regime.
A few months ago California Senator Dianne Feinstein tried to eliminate our Right to express our opinion, with a failed attempt to outlaw flag burning. The High Court decided we still have the Right to express our opinion as long as it doesn't invade the Rights of others.
The same week the High Court rejected a college students right to carry a sign claiming, "bong hits for Jesus". Human and Civil Rights activists promptly told Feinstein to stick the flag in her bong and smoke it for Jesus.

Wrong - the first order of business for a totalitarian regime is to squash dissent (as another poster pointed out) and the 2nd is to turn citizens against each other.

Instead of outlawing it, why don't we change our attitudes about it. It's "cool" to own a gun, it's "cool" to shoot people. We're fighting for our freedom, we're protecting ourself from (fill in the blank). As a result of these attitudes, we have more gun murders than any country on the planet. What do YOU propose we do about that? Because it's sickening.
Fanatics; Good point - citizens are already being turned against each other. It's called "horizontal hostility." Who hates each other more than poor folks from different demographics? If they're fighting each other, they're not going to struggle against what's keeping them down.

The first order is the "Patriot Act", which removes the individual protections of the Bill of Rights.

I think third is the establishment of an independent armed force such as germany's brown shirts. Can anyone say Blackwater?

No. The first order of business is to outlaw dissent.

Correct. It is one of the important actions to control every citizen to their detriment.

Yes, that is why we were given the 2nd amendment!
