Ben Carson suggested last week the Holocaust wouldn’t have happened if Jews in Europe were better armed. He argued that gun control is a bigger tragedy than a bullet-riddled body. He said the best way to confront a mass shooter is to rush the gunman.
The statements, after the mass shooting in Oregon that killed nine college students, have drawn no shortage of criticism, including from public-safety experts and the FBI. Carson’s commentary on gun policy is emblematic of his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination.

Many, many times. Before Adolph Hitler came to power, there was a black market in firearms, but the German people had been so conditioned to be law abiding, that they would never consider buying an unregistered gun. The German people really believed that only hoodlums own such guns. What fools we were. It truly frightens me to see how the government, media, and some police groups in America are pushing for the same mindset. In my opinion, the people of America had better start asking and demanding answers to some hard questions about firearms ownership, especially if the government does not trust me to own firearms, why or how can the people be expected to trust the government?
ReplyDeleteThere is no doubt in my mind that millions of lives could have been saved if the people were not "brainwashed" about gun ownership and had been well armed. Hitler’s thugs and goons were not very brave when confronted by a gun. Gun haters always want to forget the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, which is a perfect example of how a ragtag, half starved group of Jews took up 10 handguns and made asses out of the Nazis. --Theodore Haas, survivor of Dachau
Don't forget Russia also and I do believe they were better equipped that having only 10 handguns not that it detracts from their fight. Thanks.
DeleteThe second amendment was not in Germany's constitution nor Russia's. That's what makes us so unique. It is our God given right to bear arms and as far as I am concerned, any law that goes against the second amendment is one that I do not nor will not obey. We have allowed these politicians too much leeway over our rights as it is, and it is time to have it come to a screeching halt. Ready my lips: We will not comply!
ReplyDeletea screeching halt.
DeleteIt is!
I am glad that Dr. Carson has "evolved" on this issue - when he first started his campaign, he was a bit out to lunch on the 2nd Amendment.
ReplyDeleteIt may well be a truthful change as I have a feeling he really didn't know much about them.
