Why does this make me think of the current gun debate?

Belgium: At the time of the German invasion of Belgium, in the early summer of 1940, around 66,000 Jews lived in the country, but hardly any of them were Belgian citizens. They were mainly immigrants or refugees from Eastern Europe or Germany. Starting in 1941, the Nazis began segregating the Jews: they were listed, registered, marked, and their property was confiscated. A total of 28,500 Jews were deported from Belgium during the war.

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

The gang members in government, like Chicago can not read. Pelosi “Lets pass the bill to see what is in it”

A change of the Constitution is the only way to change gun ownership.

We need a video of Obama and his staff threatening the nation with reduced law enforcement and national security.

Follow that with rolling script and voice over:

THIS is why American citizens NEED semi-automatic rifles with 30 round magazines.

To protect our families, our homes, our communities, and our nation, when the government FAILS in those responsibilities.

I think your article has relevance, but the title you posted has nothing to do with what is at the link.

It is very doubtful that this will have a duplicate post, because it is not from a news site.

The rule about the title matching the link is to prevent duplicate threads, so I guess there is not harm in making up a title.

When someone doesn’t physically resist abuse, IMO they shouldn’t complain.

I think the world, and in particular citizens of the United States owe those people of the 1940s a debt of thanks - because of what they did not do (i.e., resist) and the terrible results - and the lesson learned.

Liberals scoff at the idea that "it could not happen here"... but there are millions of us who learned history and are determined that it will not be repeated in these United States.
They can pass all the laws they want.

WE WILL NOT COMPLY!

And then there's the issue of enforcement...

Physical resistance is not always possible at the point of assault. Don't get mad; get EVEN. That's what ambushes and IEDs are for.

The only thing I will register regarding my firearms is my membership in the NRA. I will not, under any circumstances register. If they want to label me a criminal so be it, I will label them a criminal government.

“Don’t get mad; get EVEN”.

Conflict is inevitable; Combat is an option. Train for the fight before the fight.

Winston Churchill observed, “If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”

Back in High School I dated a gal who was taught "don't get even, get ahead". Her mother taught her that, I often suspected that she might have meant "get a head" instead!
