Especially love this part...
"In no way could armed people have stopped the totalitarian power of the Nazi state,"
...er, armed people did stop the "totalitarian power of the Nazi state", those armed people were the soldiers of the Allied forces.
This is a gem too...
"The record also shows that the Nazis accelerated the liquidation of remaining Jewish ghettos after the uprising."
...so basically, lay down your life so that others will be killed more slowly. The point that everyone ends up dead regardless appears to be lost.
Moving on...
"When gun rights advocates arent using the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising to make a case against gun control, they often invoke Sobibor, an extermination camp in Nazi-occupied Poland that was shut down by the Germans after a Jewish revolt involving first an ax and then explosives and guns.
But the rebellion was but one reason why the Germans destroyed the camp and hid all evidence of mass murders there, wrote Moynihan. They also wanted Sobibor to disappear because the Allies were fast approaching."
...so again lay down your lives because not doing so will mean evidence gets hidden.
I was unable to find out who at Huffington Post wrote this diatribe.
You have to have a certain kind of liberal insanity to believe that it’s better to unarmed than armed, when confronted by people who want to kill you.
And what about slaves in America? I have seen the eight-inch spikes on top of metal fences . . . they feared a slave uprising. It would have been over sooner if they had guns in their hands.
Did my beforehand guess as to their conclusion before reading.
Bingo.
My current HuffPo guess ahead score: 100%.
Ah, the pleasures of observing unlimited stupidity.
Along with the sadness of observing folks who actually believe them.
Yes! Gun control, disarm the population. Socialized medicine, so you know who is who and where. Besides that the Jews were socialist and during his rise the Jews, my people, were told to ignore his rethoric as it’s just to get him elected.
Notice anything?
Another argument from the gun grabbers is that Germany already had gun control before the Nazis took over. Well that made it even easier for Shitler to impose stricter gun control regs on the Jews.
“...had Jews had guns.”
Lying sh!t. No one had them...legally.
Gun Control talking points from the Puff Ho?
Not even gonna read the excerpt. Nope. No thanks.
It sure wouldve made it more difficult had they been well armed. After all, its tough to round people up who are shooting at you.
The huff post? what do you expect from a rotten leftist rag? They don’t want you or anyone to defend themselves from fascist oppression.
Live for a short time as a free man, armed to the teeth, while standing on your feet or live for a slightly longer time, as an unarmed slave and kneeling while waiting to be led to the slaughtering pens.
Choose, folks.

If the Jews had been as broadly dispersed and as well armed as average Americans are today, would the Holocaust have been prevented?
uh...YES!
Stupid question considering “arms” is what is currently preventing a Jewish holocaust right in front of you every single day in the present.
I've always wondered why the French did not fight back more against the Germans. The Occupation Army was vastly out numbered by the French citizenry. Would there have been casualties? Yep.
But you make France too expensive for the Germans to hold.
And very probably *very* different.
Although it's hard to be certain exacatly how they'd be different.It could have simply meant that a squad of Nazi soldiers would have shown up at such households and a gunfight would have ensued...a gunfight that the Jewish residents of the household would have lost.
There is no German history lecturer explaining this to HuffPuff. If you go back to 1913, there was a mass shooting in Bremen (at a school). After that one event, the Kaiser and the Reichstag had a big law revision, which drove gun reform. The Nazis just came up later to add on top of what was done there in 1913, and later what the Reichstag accomplished in the early 1920s.
People say it couldn't happen here....but I'm sure there are some on the Left who would gladly send a lot of us to the camps.
LOLOL!
That is literally what happened here:
Huffpoo posted this B.S. during Purim too.
They can sod off.

French Resistance
The French Resistance was the collection of French movements that fought against the Nazi German occupation of France and the collaborationist Vichy régime during the Second World War. Resistance cells were small groups of armed men and women, who, in addition to their guerrilla warfare activities, were also publishers of underground newspapers, providers of first-hand intelligence information, and maintainers of escape networks that helped Allied soldiers and airmen trapped behind enemy lines. The men and women of the Resistance came from all economic levels and political leanings of French society, including émigrés, academics, students, aristocrats, conservative Roman Catholics, and also citizens from the ranks of liberals, anarchists and communists.
