Hitler Joins Gun Debate, but History Is in Dispute. According to the article: Advocates who cite Hitler in the current U.S. debate overlook that Jews in 1930s Germany were a very small population, owned few guns before the Nazis took control, and lived under a dictatorship commanding overwhelming public support and military might, historians say. While it doesn’t fit neatly into the modern-day gun debate, they say, the truth is that for all Hitler’s unquestionably evil acts, his firearms laws likely made no difference in Jews’ very tenuous odds of survival. During the holocaust Nazis slaughtered over six million Jews throughout Europe. And yet we are to believe that it would have made no difference if even a small portion of those victims had taken a National Socialist or two with them.

OK, we'll leave the 6 MILLION Jews out of the conversation. What about the REST of the folks Hitler decided just didn't need to be taking up space on the planet. Anyone who disagreed with him, regardless of genetic makeup. Artists. Musicians who played anything but German composers. Christian Poles, homosexuals, and any other "deviants" as designated by Hitler or one of his minions. Those who fought to save the marked ones. So you don't think there would have been any change if some of those people had weapons when the SS came calling? Idiot.
All conflicts since WW2 have been small arms versus large governments........how can so many be so clueless....?????
I love how people say that you could never fight a govt with just rifles, like the Revolutionary War. In some ways they are right, it is not rifles that make citizens freedom fighters and drones and artillery don't make a govt oppressive- it is citizens who demand their freedoms and a govt unwilling to respect that which leads to freedom fighters and despots.
The progressives know that they can't win the war against people that know their rights, so they degrade and remove rights one by one with 'safety' and then the despot revolution happens with a whimper.
And don't forget. In the 1800's a private citizen could legally own the most devastating weapon of the times. A CANNON.
Uh-oh. Dr. Ben Carson, the recent hero of conservatives across the nation, has said something disturbing. http://www.mediaite.com/tv/conservative-hero-ben-carson-to-beck-you-have-no-right-to-semi-automatic-weapons-in-large-cities/
I'll take fascism for 50 bucks.
A:The Cyprus bank account confiscation.
Q: Why are leftists so interested in public disarmament?
The left is trying every way possible to connivence the American people that disarming has never brought about slaughter of the innocent. So here all can look for themselves. The Bolsheviks, the Nazis, the Japanese, the Chinese, the Italians, the Khmer Ruge, and on and on. If my memory is correct Leftywood even award all kinds of awards for "The Killing Fields" which depicted the slaughter of many from Cambodia.
So nice try all you disarming gun grabbing communist.
If the Jews had stood up and said "NO" right away instead of allowing their rights to be slowly stripped away it may have made a difference.
That is exactly what the left is doing to US, one right, one little freedom at a time being taken away for the "collective good"
But, it's OK, the left will take care of us. They won't let anything bad happen.
Isn't that what was promised to all those dead people throughout history?
Warsaw ghetto. "nuff said.
