Hitler Wasn't Really Taking Guns Away!

Yes ,because we all know it's a good thing to defend Hitler and his Nazi Regime. Of course. I mean, he really didn't endorse gun control, did he?

*facepalm*

You gotta read this to believe it. I'm still kinda stupefied by it. Emphasis added, so pay attention. From Washington Post 23 Mar 2013. (Shocker, there)

When the president of Ohio’s state school board posted her opposition to gun control, she used a powerful symbol to make her point: a picture of Adolf Hitler. When a well-known conservative commentator decried efforts to restrict guns, he argued that if only Jews in Poland had been better armed, many more would have survived the Holocaust.

In the months since the Newtown, Conn., school massacre, some gun rights supporters have repeatedly compared U.S. gun control efforts to Nazi restrictions on firearms, arguing that limiting weapons ownership could leave Americans defenseless against homegrown tyrants.

But some experts say that argument distorts a complex and contrary history. In reality, scholars say, Hitler loosened the tight gun laws that governed Germany after World War I, even as he barred Jews from owning weapons and moved to confiscate them.

Advocates who cite Hitler in the current U.S. debate overlook that Jews in 1930s Germany were a very small population, owned few guns before the Nazis took control, and lived under a dictatorship commanding overwhelming public support and military might, historians say. While it doesn’t fit neatly into the modern-day gun debate, they say, the truth is that for all Hitler’s unquestionably evil acts, his firearms laws likely made no difference in Jews’ very tenuous odds of survival.

“Objectively, it might have made things worse” if the Jews who fought the Nazis in the 1943 Warsaw ghetto uprising in Poland had more and better guns, said historian Steve Paulsson, an expert on the period whose Jewish family survived the city’s destruction.

Okay, so....Hitler did much to loosen gun control on Germans, but damn if he didn't confiscate them from the Jews. And this is, according to Steve Paulsson, a good thing, because it would have been worse for the Jews if they would have had guns. You know. To fight against the Nazis. Of course.

I am more and more convinced that liberalism is either a mental disease or a demonic possession.
