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.<br /><br />The 1938 law signed by Hitler that LaPierre mentions in his book basically does the opposite of what he says it did. “The 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.</i>Yastreblyanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335868257729063363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-55649818787558066492015-10-10T06:09:56.559-04:002015-10-10T06:09:56.559-04:00I think the GOP can thank Limbaugh & his "...I think the GOP can thank Limbaugh & his "Barak the Magic Negro" campaign for all the attention wingers have ladled over retired brainiac surgeon "Dr. Ben", & all the hope they injected in him.<br /><br />Lefties play a lot of attention to GOP goings-on. Some feel we've no choice; to some extent that's undeniable. But the GOP base doesn't reciprocate: to them, we're all interchangeable fungus, not even important to differentiate except for or in relation to general elections. <br /><br />So, candidates like Dean, Sanders, even Obama (despite that how much more obvious does it need to be speech at the 2004 DNC and the TIME-fueled cosmic afterglow) catch their attention often very late in the election process. Indeed, for millions to tens of 'em in the base, the November 08 result never sunk in until gross features of its reality started hammering them - like, the daily microscope view of our POTUS at work. Now EVERY FREAKING DAY they were "forced to listen to that one" & his big butt black beyotch & picaninny offspring & PUTTING UP WITH a negro living in the White House acting like he's in charge. I'm sure it made many (millions) of them actually physically ill on a regular basis.<br /><br />Then Rush came along with his Barak the Magic Negro doll: a thing to abuse, a phenomenon for which they could consign responsibility to ... voodoo - as they awaited Obama's clay feet to catch him up, his stupid black brain & negro mouth to get him into trouble, to screw up, then get beat like a crippled snake in 2012.<br /><br />Instead, turned out "Barry" was one o' them shifty clever dark devils with white libtards wrapped round his finger. Check it out in the Urban Dictionary: rightwing blogs and non-public after 2008 all used "SCoaMF", acronym for 'Stuttering Clusterfuck of a Miserable Failure'. And evern as he kept succeeding, they kept up with the acronym, now unhinged from anything existential (just like long form birth certificate, Kenya, Muslim, toy animals roaming about in fake petting zoo). But BEHIND it there was a place almost all had in their heads that said basically, He's not only uppity, he pulls it off cuz he's SMARTER. UNFFFFFFAIR!<br /><br />Then comes Dr. Ben, certified degrees-having honored actual smartypants genius brain, saying stuff they LIKE: Obama bad, Reagan good. He's Magic nice tame OUR Negro! <br /><br />What gets ignored or discounted, cuz they now hate pols, is Obama clearly planed out all his post-prep school life to head to a career in big-time electoral politics. Because none of that shit is USEFUL except to steal elections and run the government the hate.<br /><br />I can see now how this Chauncey Gardner MD/PhD could prove resilient stay a factor in the Clown Race right thru to the RNC (& to infinity, and beyond ... unto FNC!). <br /><br />Dr Ben is every bit as understandable to these morons as Obama was, except fashions change and now they got one they own, to prop up and show off for all the neighbors and relatives.Feud Turgidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05379322096770703017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-41771661383765767492015-10-09T23:17:22.443-04:002015-10-09T23:17:22.443-04:00So the nut cases cite actions after Hitler was alr...So the nut cases cite actions after Hitler was already in control as "leading to Hitler's takeover". Well here's a truth: The only party in the US that would or might confiscate guns is the Republican party. That would occur when/if they actually "took the country back" to the primitive past and had to prevent decent people from rising up to oppose their right wing tyranny. Then armed citizens could rise up to restore what the Founders had to fight for 240 years ago. What they ignorantly seek is what the Founders opposed. But are they capable of understanding "they" are the threat to the Founders noble experiment? Of course not.

Rout memorization is not knowledge, it's going through the motions - kinda' like a robot, or a trained monkey, though without the degree of confidence. Thinking outside the box - cognitive reasoning - is something they make television series about. You know, <i>fantasy</i>.Ten Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594307610015584119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-14897883630217662152015-10-09T18:40:34.724-04:002015-10-09T18:40:34.724-04:00The argument is just wrong.

Moreover the argument totally contradicts another favorite NRA argument, namely that gun laws DON'T prevent people who really want to get them from succeeding. So if Jews genuinely wanted to resist, according to NRA received wisdom, they could have got the guns. Europe certainly had no shortage of guns after the First World War.<br /><br />Don't miss Charlie Cooke's fabulous post over at National Review. He implies there might possibly be some slight historical inaccuracy in Carson's nonsense. But it totally doesn't matter! Because what the good doctor meant to say was that governments can't take our guns!
