If the author’s argument is correct, then why did the Allied forces ask their defeated German and Japanese foes to surrender their arms? Why not just give them even more guns?
The logic is invisible here.
So, according to the author, more guns would not have protected the civilian victims of Adolf’s rage. Well, then why should the author care if US citizens have guns. Those guns are of no benefit, right?
The logic is typical liberal—very shallow and melts under the slightest examination.
