Six million Jews would not have been murdered if they had had guns.
I was going to see his latest movie (and I rarely see movies) but after this, not a dime from me.
The real Mr. Schindler armed his Jewish workers with rifles, which they pointed at the Germans who visited his factory towards the end of the war in an effort to eliminate witnesses to their genocide. Spielberg changed the ending to one where Schindler makes an appeal to the soldiers' humanity to spare the lives of his workers.
Why? I've always believed that Spielberg did not want to show guns in a positive light while his fellow Democrats in congress and the White House were in the process of passing the most comprehensive gun control laws since 1968.
In another bit or irony, Steven Spielberg possesses one of the largest private collections of WWII-era small arms, including fully automatic weapons.
