Leave it to the Wash Compost to come up with such a weird take on Godwin's Law. Even IF Shitler commisioned the manufacture of AR style rifles what's the relevancy other than that immature "everyone I disagree with is a nazi" mentality? Mercedes Benz played a huge role in building up the nazi war machine, yet they'res plenty of Mercedes vehicles on the streets of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv etc. Even the IDF uses Mercedes trucks

The first semiautomatic assault rifle was the Sturmgehwehr-44. This predated the M16A1 by 20 years.

More accurately say that about WP editorial staff.

Shouldn’t the senior editor of the Washington Post like National Socialists?

Say what you will about the Wehrmacht, they were damn good soldiers. The idea of a light infantry rifle capable of automatic fire can trace some of its legacy to the SG44, but it was probably inevitable. The M-16 was the epitome of the concept, and the AR-15 was a civilian counterpart.
To: Impala64ssa
Wouldn’t that be a good thing for the Washington Post editor since he and his paper have fully supported the neo-Nazis in Ukraine?

Gun control was used by the Nazis to subdue the population.

I think the term “assault rifle” was originally German, but many countries experimented with semi-automatic or automatic rifles, and got the idea that a smaller rifle with a caliber smaller than what the bolt-action rifles had might be practical. But yeah, anything the left doesn’t like, from guns to freedom of speech to you owning your own car, is “Nazi.”

Hugo Boss designed the SS uniforms. Bet this cuck as at least one garment in his closet from ol’ Hugo.

So this clown wants to ban Volkswagens too??
To: Impala64ssa
I recall reading about how Volkswagen was known as “The Peoples Car” during the Hitler years in Germany. Didn’t seem to stop the Beetle or the van from becoming hip vehicles during the 1960s.

The AR-15 design was created some 80 years ago? Who knew?
And the Nazis used to punch holes in the Allied Forces in the Battle of the Bulge? Why are we only learning this NOW?
The weapon of choice for most of the Wehrmacht up through 1945 was the Mauser carbine. Walther carbines were also widely used.
Some of what vaguely resembled the AR-15 were also produced, but close examination would have disclosed great differences in design.

The Soviets wanted an assault rifle like it. Kalishnikov developed one with only four pieces, the AK-47. Very rugged and so simple to use, illiterate peasants could use it.

I thought the Nazis invented the ‘Acht two lever’ repeating rifle, much loved by Chuck Conners!

Like so many things associated with the Nazis, the Peoples Car was a bit of a con job to get money out of the citizenry. Every week you’d pay a mark (or five?, something like that) and fill up a little book with official receipts. If you missed a week, you lost your money and had to start over. When the book was full, you got your car. Ah, but the war started and no one who paid into the scheme ever got his car.
