Doodledog is totally ignorant of the Warsaw Ghetto,

where a small number of Jews (many of them not even adult), occupied the German army for weeks with a tiny amount of mostly obsolete guns, making Hitler and his army a laughingstock to the rest of Europe.

TY for this magnificent post. It is important to remind people how horrific life can be.

WW2 was hell on earth.

Thanks for the post/ping.

Those who forget (actual) history, are doomed to repeat...is what comes to mind.

I got into an argument this morning with a lib over this dopey article from dopey Salon wherein the writer attempts to prove that we RWNJs like Dr. Carson are lying about Hitler and his gun control law resulting in the Holocaust:

Only even Salon admits that the Jews and other “undesirables” were indeed prohibited from owning firearms. Well, duh! Without a means of defending themselves, they were herded into railroad cars and taken to concentration camps.

Radically, Salon contradicts its own arguments. And arguing with a lib is taxing.

That last picture is probably what the classroom at UCC looked like.

I was just reading where the witness that received the package from the shooter said everyone was on the floor and the shooter went one-by-one, having them stand and then shot them after asking their religion.

The shooter stopped to reload his two pistols! And then was shot by police.

Powerful. The spirit of Israel was born in that ghetto.

Those gut-wrenching pictures typifies what happens to a disarmed people. The communists did it a hundred times more.

Thanks for the ping and the picture.

The fighters there found that if they pushed the muzzle of the pistol squarely into the torso of their Nazi victims, the muzzle blast entered the victim, increasing the effectiveness of the (usually) single shot, and muting the sound of the pistol.

That meant they had to approach to within an arm's length of their intended target, usually a solitary Nazi soldier, often from behind.

Then, the race was on to get the corpse out of view and strip it of weapons and ammo and anything else that might be useful and escape before detection.

Not work for the faint of heart.

Michael Medved should read this. He was on the air saying what good would a hand gun do against an army. He wouldn’t even debate it and cut short a guy trying to explain it.
