ADL National Director Jonathan Greenblatt said that Carson “has a right to his views on gun control, but the notion that Hitler’s gun-control policy contributed to the Holocaust is historically inaccurate … gun control did not cause the Holocaust; Nazism and anti-Semitism did.”

Carson dismissed the ADL statement in an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Friday.

“That’s total foolishness,” Carson told George Stephanopoulos. “It is well known that in many places where tyranny has taken over, they first disarm the people.”

ADL National Director Jonathan Greenblatt said that Carson “has a right to his views on gun control, but the notion that Hitler’s gun-control policy contributed to the Holocaust is historically inaccurate … gun control did not cause the Holocaust; Nazism and anti-Semitism did.”

I don't think Carson's saying gun control "caused" the Holocaust, exactly, more like "enabled" it, and I don't think you can argue against that. I doubt that Hitler woke up one day and realized "Hey, ve haf gun kontrol, letz haf a Holocaust!"
