“You: “I once saw a movie in which only the police and military had guns.”
Her: “Really? What was it?”
You: “Schindler’s List”.”
The Jews in the Warsaw Uprising had weapons and they still got slaughtered.
They were outnumbered, outgunned, and surrounded.
They had a few handguns, and I think one rifle. They still managed to hold off the entire might of the German government for a quite a while before they were slaughtered. Indeed, the paucity of firepower they had didn't save them, but they did take out some of those who were intent to kill them.
The Jews were surrounded. But they chose the time, place and manner of death. Not the Nazi’s!
You gotta be kidding. A few pop guns up against the SS and German army. The Warsaw uprising occurred after guns were banned. Those doomed Jews didn’t have shit by design of the NAZIs.
What’s your point?
Of course they got slaughtered.
But they held out, if I recall correctly, for longer than the entire country of Poland did after the initial invasion.
