Unfortunately, the liberal progressives occupy key positions in government. This from Wikipedia on arguably the most rabid anti-gun member of congress, Tomas Peter Lantos. A Hungarian Jew in Budapest at the time of the Nazi occupation:

"Lantos remembered this period and a newspaper headline he read when he was only 10, "Hitler Marches into Austria." Even at a young age, he understood the significance of this invasion: "I sensed that this historic moment would have a tremendous impact on the lives of Hungarian Jews, my family, and myself." Six years later, in March 1944, the German military invaded Hungary and occupied Budapest, its capital. Lantos, then 16, was arrested because he was Jewish and sent to a forced labor camp outside of Budapest. He escaped but was soon caught by the Germans and beaten severely, to be returned to the labor camp. He again escaped but this time made his way back to Budapest, 40 miles away. There, he hid with an aunt in a safe house set up by Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat."

Incredibly, despite his virulently anti Second Amendment position, I saw him interviewed on the History Channel as he recounted his days under Nazi occupation, and declared "The Nazis had all the guns. We had nothing. We could do nothing." Some people never learn.

Oh he learned alright. He moved into a position of Government so he could be the Nazi this time and control other people guns. You don't see him advocating gun control for Government do you.

Great story into the convoluted mind of liberal mind-think. Thanks very much for for posting.
