Scholarly book presents ‘hidden history’ of Nazi 'gun control
The Examiner ^ | 8/11/13 | David Codrea

Posted on 08/11/2013 9:07:55 AM PDT by Nachum

Would Nazi Germany’s systematic enslavement and extermination policies have gone unchallenged by victim populations if the Third Reich had not imposed and expanded on the “gun control” edicts of the Weimar Republic?

The question has been explored for decades now, by innovative civil rights groups presenting groundbreaking research, like Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, as well as by a handful of Second Amendment scholars. Unfortunately, for those interested in a more complete understanding, it has gone unasked and unmentioned in most “mainstream” history books.

“A skeptic could surmise that a better-armed populace might have made no difference,” the overview for “Gun Control in the Third Reich: Disarming the Jews and ‘Enemies of the State’” observes, “but the National Socialist regime certainly did not think so -- it ruthlessly suppressed firearm ownership by disfavored groups.”

“Groundbreaking Research”

Oh my goodness! You mean those evil Nazis kept firearms out of the hands of the citizenry and distributed them only to politically loyal/trusted military and paramilitary institutions and agencies?!?

Amazing!

Good golly, what will they learn next?

I believe in gun control.
Send all those WWII German guns to me, mylife, at 1911 Steel way, Mytown USA.
Don’t forget the ammo.
Remember, those bullets could be dangerous.

I am glad to do my part to make the world a safer place.

Living memory can produce first hand testimony of the tyrannical, genocidal and murderous behaviors of Nazi Germany, Communist China, the Soviet Union and Pol Pot’s Cambodia.

Given those testimonies, the only rational reason to deny “gun control” as a necessary step to population control, is because the denier is an accomplice of those who seek population control.

An armed populace might have lost oout to the Third Reich thugs but there would have been a lot of dead NAZIs in the mix.
