No, but they immediately moved to disarm their populations, didn’t they? Which is why the leftists here have gun control (& eventual confiscation) high on their agenda. Without the ability to fight back you simply have to wait & let the thing collapse. With half the population starving in the meantime...
My point was that what you quoted has never happened. Sounds macho, but it’s just bluster. You better use the guns while you still have them, or better yet make sure these bastards never get in power.
