Ben Carson Blames Holocaust On Gun Control

[2aguy]

These countries and their people were unarmed when the nazis conquered them...and had no way to resist and make it impossible for the Germans to govern.....

Again....we have the greatest military on the planet...or had.....and with satellites, advanced jet fighters, Special operators, .....terrorists with small arms and improvised bombs drove us out.....

That didn't happen in Europe to the Germans....because European countries disarmed all of their people after World War 1....trusting that the police and their governemnts would keep them safe.....and each of the following countries surrendered citizens to the Germans for murder....and those citizens were unarmed and helpless to resist....or fight their way to neutral countries not yet controlled by the germans.....

So yes....an armed population is the best check against mass murder by the government...

did the NAZIs not take away guns from the people leftard??

do Democrats not want to take guns away leftard?

yes or no questions; be honest with YOURSELF here ok??

Actually Hitler deregulated gun control which was previously more strict before he came into office. With the exception of Jews owning guns which isn't really a gun control issue.

you're admitting Jews couldn't have guns, and that might have helped them defend themselves if they had them

thanks for playing!!!

I'm admitting?

I'm stating. Jews were not allowed to have guns and that is a racist law, nobody here is stating that gun control is a great idea if "those people" aren't allowed to have them. That my friend is a strawman.

Now, NYcarbineer already stated that the Jewish population wasn't large enough to overtake the German government so the point is moot on multiple fronts.

Armed civilians were powerless against the Nazis

Those who did try resisting were caught and had their whole family killed in front of them. The sniper was then cruely tortured and killed
Towns that harbored assassins were burned to the ground

Armed Jews would have found no support from their community. They would be turned in by their neighbors and would have no place to hide after shooting at the nazis

The NRA fantasy that Jews could have been saved if they were armed is idiotic

The civilians were not armed........they had been disarmed after world war 1.....only Switzerland had vast numbes of people...over 400,000 armed with small arms...everyone else was disarmed...

I saw a show on the history channel....it talked about GM.....the car maker, during World War 2 they made a cheap handgun....with no rifling in the barrel, single shot.......no sights....that the allies dropped into occupied Europe to help European resistance get guns...they had to walk up to German soldiers, as close as 3 feet to shoot them to try to get their guns, since they didn't have any of their own....

So no......there were no Armed Civilians in any numbers in Europe when the Germans took over....

And again......we are leaving Iraq and Afghanistan because of the terrorists armed with rifles and bombs...........

And our military is far more advanced than the Germans in World War 2......

And Switzerland was not invaded....

The population was unarmed....so a few people who tired to resists with hunting rifles made no difference...try a million people armed with rifles....see how that changes the equation....

The one thing all genocides have in common.....the people being murdered are completely unarmed.....

Even in Rwanda....with United Nations peacekeeping forces in the country specifically there to stop the genocide...unarmed people were hacked to death by the government and their millitias with machetes and shot by government troops...the victims..unarmed....the government had machetes ordered from out of the country to arm their people.....

So no....the people in genocides are not armed to stop them.....and they are murdered in their millions.

Do you think that many people would have been slaughtered if they had a way to fight back?

Most evil dictators did disarm people they sought to control or murder.

Hitler probably would of sent the SS after them. There isn't enough jews in all of Germany to of fought and won. The thing is the russian army had tanks+ planes and much more. What happened is tens of millions were killed to stop the germans on the eastern front.

The thing is if they would of fought on the battle field = much less likely they would of gotten international outrage over being slaughtered in the camps.

Moron, do some research on the infrastructure of the English language and develop a minimal knowledge thereof.

Like, for instance to know the difference between "of" and "have".

If the Jews in Europe had had weapons they might have still died fighting an overwhelming force but they would have died fighting, not in concentration camps.

Let me repeat: You are a moron. Of epic proportions.

The Anti-Defamation League says these sorts of comments are "historically inaccurate and offensive."

Ben Carson, a candidate for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, blamed the Holocaust on Nazi gun control in an interview on CNN Thursday.

Host Wolf Blitzer read a section from Carson's book, A More Perfect Union, in which Carson writes:

German citizens were disarmed by their government in the late 1930s, and by the mid-1940s Hitler's regime had mercilessly slaughtered six million Jews and numerous others whom they considered inferior ... Through a combination of removing guns and disseminating deceitful propaganda, the Nazis were able to carry out their evil intentions with relatively little resistance.​

"I think the likelihood of Hitler being able to accomplish his goals would have been greatly diminished if the people had been armed," Carson elaborated in the interview. "There's a reason these dictatorial people take the guns first."

The Anti-Defamation League, which monitors and responds to anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry, has long opposed the use of Nazi comparisons in the U.S. gun control debate. "The idea that supporters of gun control are doing something akin to what Hitler’s Germany did to strip citizens of guns in the run-up to the Second World War is historically inaccurate and offensive, especially to Holocaust survivors and their families," Abraham Foxman, the ADL's national director at the time, said in 2013.

Conservatives have a history of comparing gun control advocates to Hitler and the Nazis. The ADL's 2013 comments were provoked by The Drudge Report's choice to use an image of Hitler to illustrate news that President Barack Obama was pursuing limited gun control measures after 20 first-graders and six school staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, were murdered by a gunman.

Many historians disagree with the idea that armed German Jews could have prevented the Holocaust. And as Alex Seitz-Wald, a journalist then writing for Salon, explained in 2013, the full story of Nazi gun regulation is more complicated than Carson and his ilk might like:

University of Chicago law professor Bernard Harcourt explored this myth in depth in a 2004 article published in the Fordham Law Review. As it turns out, the Weimar Republic, the German government that immediately preceded Hitler’s, actually had tougher gun laws than the Nazi regime. After its defeat in World War I, and agreeing to the harsh surrender terms laid out in the Treaty of Versailles, the German legislature in 1919 passed a law that effectively banned all private firearm possession, leading the government to confiscate guns already in circulation. In 1928, the Reichstag relaxed the regulation a bit, but put in place a strict registration regime that required citizens to acquire separate permits to own guns, sell them or carry them....

[Hitler's] "1938 revisions completely deregulated the acquisition and transfer of rifles and shotguns, as well as ammunition,” Harcourt wrote. Meanwhile, many more categories of people, including Nazi party members, were exempted from gun ownership regulations altogether, while the legal age of purchase was lowered from 20 to 18, and permit lengths were extended from one year to three years.​

The 1938 law did ban Jews from owning guns. But as the ADL explained in 2013, "the small number of personal firearms in the hands of the small number of Germany’s Jews (about 214,000) remaining in Germany in 1938 could in no way have stopped the totalitarian power of the Nazi German state," which eventually conquered most of Europe.

There was some armed Jewish resistance to the power of the Nazi war machine. But it often ended in death for the Jews involved.

In January 1943, Jews in the Warsaw ghetto rose up against the Nazis. Some 13,000 Jews died in the uprising. (They killed around 20 Nazis.) The rest were deported to concentration and extermination camps, where most were murdered.

My grandfather and grandmother had escaped from the ghetto before the uprising and gone into hiding in the countryside. They survived.

Ben Carson should learn some factual history.

Go fuck yourself you self-righteous ass-wipe. That is not what he stated and, as a Jew, I have much more right to take offense or non-offense to what Carson stated!

I am not offended and in fact believe he is 100% right. The Holocaust would have still happened, but just like the Jews did in Warsaw, they could have fought back! The Warsaw Jews fought harder than the entire Polish Army did and they lasted longer!

So, as a Jew, you have special privileges? Gee, where have I heard that before? Oh, that's right, the chosen people. Even a red-skinned ni**er, as you called me, has a right to his opinion.

As an Indian, YOU have special privileges, earned by your ancestors' stupidity.

"The 1938 law did ban Jews from owning guns."

 

[bravoactual]

A common enough and often used but totally misinformed misconception.

Under the failed Weimar Republican, control of Firearms was strict. Once Hitler and the Nazi's took control of guns was loosened, except for the Jews were strictly forbidden to own a firearm.

Dunno about 'offensive,' but certainly historically inaccurate and grossly simplistic befitting the mind they come from.

Most people adored Hitler. Of those that didn't enough to actively oppose him, the availability of guns was not such that if they'd a mind to try and take a shot at him they woulda. Were guns all over the place. Just as there now despite laws making them illegal.

Coming from an islamonazi apologist... They'd love you. You'd have your head gone without a fight. I'd take a few of those bastards with me.

 

[Jroc]

If you want to know the real story on German gun control...and how the people gave up their guns in the 20s because they trusted the government to protect them....read this book...it documents the implementation of gun laws and how they were ignored by the early nazis..and then used to keep the people from being able to defend themselves from the early nazi thugs who beat and murdered anyone who spoke up against them...they destroyed businesses and intimidated the unarmed population......

Had Germans had guns for self defense...the nazis would not have been able to target individuals and their families and businesses as easily s they did....when you have a group of violent thugs beating you and no way to stop them...it sends a message to all the other people around you...don't resist, don't oppose...go along and everything will be okay....

And we know what happened.


Switzerland avoided invasion by the nazis because they had over 400,000 armed civilians...the other countries in Europe, once their military was beaten they were helpless in the face of nazi occupation...

And keep in mind....we are now leaving Iraq and Afghanistan after poorly armed killers held us off with small arms and improvised bombs..........

http://www.amazon.com/Gun-Control-Third-Reich-Disarming/dp/1598131621&tag=ff0d01-20

Based on newly-discovered, secret documents from German archives, diaries and newspapers of the time, Gun Control in the Third Reich presents the definitive, yet hidden history of how the Nazi regime made use of gun control to disarm and repress its enemies and consolidate power. The countless books on the Third Reich and the Holocaust fail even to mention the laws restricting firearms ownership, which rendered political opponents and Jews defenseless. A skeptic could surmise that a better-armed populace might have made no difference, but the National Socialist regime certainly did not think so—it ruthlessly suppressed firearm ownership by disfavored groups.

Gun Control in the Third Reich spans the two decades from the birth of the Weimar Republic in 1918 through Kristallnacht in 1938. The book then presents a panorama of pertinent events during World War II regarding the effects of the disarming policies. And even though in the occupied countries the Nazis decreed the death penalty for possession of a firearm, there developed instances of heroic armed resistance by Jews, particularly the Warsaw ghetto uprising.

So France's huge military is what kept the Nazis from invading in 1940?

errr...wait a minute...

Do you know any history moron? France and England could have easily defeated Germany early on, when he tested them, and violated The Treaty of Versailles, but they waited, which cost 10s of millions of lives..The Liberal mindset, be nice, maybe we'll avoid another war Exactly the opposite is true

Armed civilians were powerless against the Nazis

Those who did try resisting were caught and had their whole family killed in front of them. The sniper was then cruely tortured and killed
Towns that harbored assassins were burned to the ground

Armed Jews would have found no support from their community. They would be turned in by their neighbors and would have no place to hide after shooting at the nazis

[Rustic]

Dictators are always bullies, they are smart enough to know they have to in the beginning play the moderates. Talking the moderates into "reasonable gun control" slowly making laws so they can take the guns. Of course he's right, same ol' thing remember how many treaties the federal government broke with the Indians. The Indians had mostly moderate leaders, where did that get them??

That they conquer.
The conquered never write the history... See Indians in American that what happens when being spineless, and rightly so.

No one likes the loser, Ben Carson it 100% right.

It hink you are a little confused. Most people in Europe didn't have guns because th ey didn't have a gun industry that used fear to sell products people didn't need.

But the foolishness that if only they had guns, they could have resisted.

Maybe you need to read up on the village of Lidice in what was Czechoslovakia.

It was a town that was implicated in the assassination of a top Nazi official

The Nazis went in, and leveled it to the ground. They made the men dig their own graves.

Guns wouldn't have changed that. Guns caused that.

Guy, the whole problem with your argument is that you think that the Nazis were some guys who snuck in during the middle of the night and took over when no one was paying attention.

They weren't. They were ENTHUSIASTICALLY SUPPORTED by the vast majority of Germans and Austrians, who were absolutely THRILLED with what Hitler was doing. They liked the fact he was getting rid of the Jews and rebuilding Germany's prestige.

Kind of think about how you nutters just swoon when Trump talks about "Making America Great Again".

Hitler was that. And Most Germans were down with the program. They didn't question what happened to Goldberg and Goldstien. They thoroughly enjoyed that new lampshade they picked up at the store.

Something to think about when you see your fellow nutters squeal when Trumpster talks about making the Mexicans build a wall and throwing them over it.
