How gun control is causing another European Holocaust

When Adolph Hitler got into power, he confiscated all the guns owned by Jewish people. Then, once they were defenseless, he sent them all to concentration camps. Now, in 2015, Jews are being slaughtered again because of their religion. And because of strict gun control laws in Europe, they are once again defenseless.

Let the corrections, arguments/counter-arguments begin on the history of firearms confiscation and who can and can't legally obtain firearms in europe. Scotsman, you awake? :>}

P.S. Looks like Mr. Gonzales is busy at americanthinker today.

[When do we get liberated?]

If the German people were not already disarmed by the time Hitler got to power, he certainly would have. However it is worth noting that the German disarmament is a microcosm for gun control in general. When they were disarmed as citizens, the law abiding ones turned in their weapons. But Germany under the Weimar Republic wasn’t the model of stability we are accustomed to. The national Army was limited to 100,000 and was stripped of most everything and the police forces were weaker still. You had Freikorps running around as a private army keeping the communists from seizing control of provinces from the central government that was too weak and politically compromised to defend itself. In the midst of a disarmed populace they would have riots with everything up to and including WW1 machineguns and mortars. Death totals after these riots would often be in the four digits.
Gun control never works. It will always be a case of “Go ahead put down your gun and as soon as its secured don’t worry, I won’t use mine. We are from the government and we are here to help.”
