The high point of America. But, as likely always happens, the good people (the vast majority) are unable to comprehend, and there accept, just how evil their opponents are.
(consider the following, as seen from the perspective of a German Jew)
“Did us Jews in Germany really think they we be gassed? No, why should we have? It had never happened before (and no, Stalin doesn’t count, as no one knew about it, and it was regarding a backwards enemy, Russia). Us Germans were the most civilized, advanced society, in the world, with no history of mass killings.”
“Then Hitler comes along. Sure he says mean things, but the real problem this Nazi bunch had was that us Jews were still making money, while other Germans suffered greatly. So it was understandable that that this Hitler guy would try to equalize things somewhat, and we supported that goal. We thought he said things that were a bit strong, but he was trying to motivate the people and we all needed motivation back then. We knew he never really meant it, not in Germany.”
“Yes, we did wonder what happened to our relatives after they got on the trains. They were told they were going to better places, and as life became rough for us, we fought each other for those opportunities. But when we didn’t hear back from our relatives, we worried a bit. When we heard rumors of trains going to strange factories with acrid smoke coming out, and leaving empty, we were confused. But we knew nothing terrible could happen, here, in Germany. So we didn’t worry.”
If people wonder why many of us support the Second Amendment, what you see above is exactly why.
