Gun Controllers Unwittingly Support Unsafe Societal Conditions

There is no actual study of the circumstances in Europe 1920 to 1930.

Countries with strong central governments and strict gun control had no problems. Yes, there were disturbances but nothing that could sustain revolt. In the UK dissidents were forced to the ballot box where they enjoyed considerable success. In France, which suffered more as a result of the Great War, central government became repressive but the limited access to weapons enabled the centre to hold. Italy had a strong tradition of an armed populace (even though it had dubious legality) and was the first to fall under the fascist yoke. Germany was disintegrating, armed militias of both Left and Right operated with impunity and had easy access to weapons and ammunition.

Essentially your premise is a load of testicles.
