I don’t think most Nazis thought of themselves as evil people. When the Nazis rounded up guns, for example, I’m pretty sure most of them thought it was a good thing. I doubt more than a few knew where gun control was leading.

That said, there are Nazi-like, i.e. socialist and totalitarian but not necessarily nationalistic, folks in power today. I doubt any of them see it that way. I’m sure they think they’re creating a better world.

It really comes down to this: everyone has an opinion on guns, but the US Constitution says we have the right to bear arms. If the gun control folks want to change the constitution, I won’t support a change to confiscate guns, but I’ll defend their right to lawfully enact that change should they have enough votes and states to do so.

On the other hand, we’ve seen the left pervert the clear meaning of the constitution time and time again over decades. Public use does NOT mean public purpose, as in making more tax revenue by handing private property over to other private owners, interstate commerce does NOT mean telling farmers what they can and cannot grow on their own property for their own consumption, and the power to tax income does not mean imposing all sorts of income fines if you don’t do whatever the government says. If that’s how far the left wants to go with guns, I say not another inch!

Please tell me you are kidding. Yes, all the Nazis knew they were bad and wrong. Why do you think so many of them had to be forced to “join”?
