Re: Hitler joins gun debate, but history is in dispute...

The writer and the professors he quotes completely ignore the fact that while the Nazis did loosen the gun laws before the war, they did so for the groups they favored. For those they didn't favor, they registered and confiscated. Which is EXACTLY the point that needs to be made. When the government gets to decide who can be armed and who cannot you have tyranny. Being a member of the favored group doesn't exactly earn you a badge of courage for pointing out that the laws aren't affecting you. The entire point of America is that the majority cannot tyrannize the minority because the minority retains real power, not least the power of the gun.

Look at Britain. They've essentially registered and confiscated yet they don't have a tyranny (the liberals would argue). Or do they? You can go to jail for the crime of defending your life. If that isn't tyranny, tyranny does not exist.

When Patrick Henry said, "Give me liberty or give me death" these fools thought he was just kidding.
