Republican candidate Ben Carson continued his controversial remarks about guns Thursday -- suggesting in a new interview that the Jews may have been able to diminish the likelihood of the Holocaust if they were armed.
Carson made the remarks, which drew swift condemnation -- on CNN. He said that passengers on Flight 93, which crashed on 9/11, helped avoid further tragedy by rushing the gunman.
In Carson's new book “A Perfect Union,” Carson writes that “through a combination of removing guns and disseminating propaganda, the Nazis were able to carry out their evil intentions with relatively little resistance.”(continued)

What a bunch of wimpy bastards!
These same people wanted to arm the slaves in the South because they know the slaves would have eventually freed themselves. But they refuse to admit the Jews could have kept themselves free for a long time had they been armed.
Every synagogue should sponsor a gun club
Duh! Anybody who argues with that statement is incapable of rational thought.
Carson agrees with Solzhenitsyn.
Exactly.
Here’s Carson handling questions well on CNN.

Notice the steady stream of ‘gotcha’ questions and hypotheticals - something they NEVER do to Democrats.
Actually, the first step was banning cigarettes, then the guns ... sound familiar?
Sounds like a great idea! Mazel Gun Club (get it? Play on muzzle)
Seriously, being armed......never again and certainly not without a fighting chance.
HELLO!!! Who HASN’T thought that??? They would have at least put up a FIGHT before going to the gas chambers.
What you said is NOT getting ANY media attention!! TOO COINCIDENTIAL!!
And the sun is warm, but the liberals would much rather that the Jews died defending “Progressive principles” against firearms than fight for their lives. Liberalism is a mental illness.
Grow the hell up Junk media. The American people are tired of your childish stupidity and rabid arrogance.
That’s where we’re heading...
Libtards are in a fluster cluster.
On ABC, they were calling his opinion ‘bizarre.’
When watching WWII documentaries, especially the plight of Europe’s Jews, I often thought the very same. They did not fight back. If they had guns many more would have survived.
Our very own national socialist movement would be much farther along if the 2nd Amendment did not exist.
What about the slaves who were in the North?
Nothing would have stopped the Holocaust because nothing would have deterred Hitler and his henchmen from their insane hatred of the Jews. Hitler had the army, the SS, the Gestapo, and the entire civil police apparatus to enforce his plan. Any opposition to him, armed or otherwise, would have been met with overwhelming force. And for Dr. Carson or anyone else to think it would have been otherwise is incredibly naïve.
Of the millions who were killed in the camps, how many were from Germany and how many more were from Poland or the Soviet Union or France or any of the other countries under German control? I believe that the answer to that is the vast majority, and German gun control laws would not have made a difference for them.
He is basically stating the obvious and still library’s are in denial.
