The Washington Post is stupid enough to mention Germany!

Ach du lieber, Augustin.

Would that be the same peep not heard in the 1930s?

[dirtboy]

Now imagine the gun lobby not making a fuss about it.

Now imagine a country who inflicted Nazis upon the world not understanding basic unalienable rights.

WashPo jackasses.

[Azeem]

And how did that work for Germany the last time they did a gun registry?

[Sir Napsalot]

What’s that got to do with the oppressive regime here?

Hitler had vast help from his propaganda machine / worshipped by media and intelligentia (just like it here) too.

You media hacks all wish we could just submit without a peep.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Didn’t they “initiate” a death camp and genocide program a few years back, to barely a peep? Is that something we want to emulate, presstitutes?

[DJ Taylor]

The last time Germany did this, it didn’t turn out very well.

[berdie]

I especially liked the part about the police being able to “drop” by and check that the registered guns are secured as demanded by law.

Well...maybe “like” isn’t the right word.

I thought this was a historical article at first.

What’s next? A Wapo article on how little gun crime there is in Cuba and China?

[Pollster1]

The Washington Post citizens of our Global Village may advocate for one world government, but they seem not to realize that it’s not here yet. Our country (the United States, in case the WaPo writers forgot) has a Second Amendment that guarantees and protects our God-given right to keep and bear arms. Germany, as some of my Jewish relatives learned to their horror, has no such legal protection for that human right. Thank God our Founding Fathers had the foresight to put that protection into the “Supreme Law of the Land”.

Actually, Germany has had a gun registry ever since the occupying forces (US) begin allowing gun ownership after the “problems” encountered from the previous gun ownership “restrictions” already mentioned in the comments. All they are doing now is computerizing it. Is the WAPO and Birnbaum so stupid that couldn't find any of this, or are they so into the Obama cool aid that they just didn't try. I don't know which is worse.

[Lera]

Hitler did this too just before he started his genocide.

[tanknetter]

I once attended a speech by Jack Kemp where he described the differences between the US and Germany.

Germany, he said, could lower the speed limit to 55mph (or its rough metric equivalent) on the Autobahn and Germans would immediately fall in line and obey it. Then vote every elected official who supported it out of office the next election.

In the US, Americans wouldn’t vote the supporters out, but rather would pretty much ignore the speed limit and even go so far as employing tricks and technology (radar detectors) to avoid being caught.

[Rodney Dangerfield]

“Germany initiates gun registry”

Again?

[kennyboy509]

Europeans are sheep.

I have had many discussions with Brits and Germans.

They do not understand the concept of freedom.

They honestly believe they are free.

In Europe everything is either required or prohibited.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Wapo wants us to be like the Krauts.

Isn't that special?

[GenXteacher]

Germany- the land of liberty...not. No people on earth have ever submitted to authority more slavishly, save the Russians or the Chinese.
