I think this is an utterly ridiculous comment from Carson.

Dr. Carson! You can’t say that in front of this administration. It’s politically incorrect! (sarc/off)

Certainly a case can be made for it.

Warsaw Ghetto, numbers and arms did not add up to much more than pissing the Germans (Hitler in particular) off for Jews stopping Germans in any way
A fight of Faith to which I say Amen!...
Kind of like The Charge of The Light Brigade, only their Light was a Faith in God to give them eternal Justice for their honorable sacrifice, that which they endured in His name
Shalom...

I agree. The Polish uprising shows what trouble a lightly armed population could have caused the Nazi.

At least , they had a fighting chance with weapons.
Unarmed they were defenseless .
That is exactly how Radical Muslims brotherhood operatives like Barry and VJ and Michelle want all those trouble making white folk!

How can you say it is ridiculous? There is a holocaust movie, I can’t remember which one, where the people in “leadership” in one of the ghettos got their hands on some guns and ended up killing a few nazis. Of course they ended up being sent to the concentration camps, but that would have happened anyway. They were glad they fought. Imagine if the Jews had been able to defend themselves. Part of the problem is that they were constantly lied to, so they held out hope that things would turn out okay. Still, with guns they could have at least taken out some of the enemy.

I think the record of the Warsaw ghetto says he is right. And when Hitler began rounding up Jews, they were taken by detachments of police, known as Gestapo, not Blitzer's "War machine," and would have been quite able to defend themselves with small arms in their homes and neighborhoods.
Funny how all the liberals at WaPo hate this obvious truth.
To: markomalley
Oh come on, you mean the people who were rounded up and executed by the millions actually wish they could have done something about it? hat a crazy idea. I thought everyone was so happy with the Nazi effort. Imagine if some crazy Jew tried to shoot some Nazis, why they might have hit an innocent person by mistake. /s

Lucy, how did you come to this conclusion. How is Carson’s comment utterly ridiculous?

I think this is an utterly ridiculous comment from Carson.Really? Then why are tyrannical governments so careful to disarm the populace before starting their killing sprees?

How dare he be so insensitive to say that all those murdered people would have been better off if they had access to guns.
/outraged media.
To: afraidfortherepublic
For him to say if Jews would have had guns all would have been okay, is just totally foolish.
Regarding school shootings, if schools all had armed guards, yes one could avert massacres from lone gunmen, I agree.
The other comment is absurd in the extreme. Warsaw Ghetto clearing proves that....guns vs heavy artillery and tons of troops, yes that was VERY successful I don’t think.
