I’ve made this point before, but will make it again: My mother and almost all of her friends lived through WWII in Austria, Germany, Poland, etc. They had to live through horrible atrocities because they were not able to defend themselves (against soldiers from all sides, since they were all guilty of committing crimes against the citizens there). Why? Because, in the early stages and prior to the war, Hitler and others decided that the people needed to be disarmed “for their own safety.” [/quote]
The bolded part? It’s false. The vast majority of Germans (some government employees were exempted) were prohibited from owning guns since the end of WWI. For 5 years before Hitler took power, gun laws were relaxed to REQUIRE permits for both acquiring and owning handguns. By 5 years after Hitler took power those requirements were abolished altogether for most people. Hitler reformed gun ownership laws, EXPANDING gun ownership. This isn’t a belief, its a fact.
Now, who is pushing falsities to support their “beliefs” rather than relying on facts?
