"Former members of the military were warned:
'Anyone who fails to surrender his arms or who continues carrying thme without having the appropriate new permit will be prosecurted with the utmost severity of the law. New permits are obtainable at the Office of the Yuriatin Revolutionary-Military Committee, 6 October Street, Room 63." [Emphasis added]

Chilling! It warns us across the decades of the folly of gun control, which has always been about controlling people.

That quote is from Doctor Zhivago, the famous novel by Boris Pasternak of the Russian Revolution's effects on a handful of characters (later a Hollywood film of great fame as well). Pasternak was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1958 for this book, and DZ has been translated into many languages.

Another quote that still resonates with me:

"...Marxism is too uncertain of its ground to be a science. Sciences are more balanced, more objective. I don't know a movement more self-centered and further removed from the facts than Marxism. Everyone is worried only about proving himself in practical matters, and as for the men in power, they are so anxious to establish the myth of their own infallibility that they do their utmost to ignore the truth. Politics doesn't appeal to me. I don't like people who don't care about the truth." [Emphasis added]
