If the United States is going to arrive at a workable compromise solution to its gun problem, it will not be accomplished through the use of historical analogies that are false, silly and insulting. Similarly, coming to terms with a civilizations breach of the magnitude of the Holocaust requires a serious encounter with history, rather than political sloganeering that exploits history as a prop for mobilizing oneâs base.
And it goes with Carson's wanting to go against the Second Amendment....
The case of German Jews and guns is almost irrelevant, except as an object lesson. A minuscule percentage of the Jews killed in the Holocaust were German or killed in Germany. The overwhelming number of Jews killed were in Poland and the Soviet Union.
