Gun control in the US?

How the Gun Control Advocates Want You to See the Piers Morgan-Alex Jones Debate

This is what they are pushing.



When in fact, Jones was warning about what Stalin and Hitler did after guns were taken away from citizens in the Soviet Union and Germany.

Stalin's work in the gun controlled Soviet Union.

Hitler's work in gun controlled Germany.

It might be something for Alex to get worked up about.

BTW: Here's some background from The Straight Dope on gun controls in Germany:

1935 "has no correlation with any legislative effort by the Nazis for gun registration." (Nor, for that matter, does 1936...) Indeed, there was no need for the Nazis to pass a law like that, because the earlier Weimar government had already passed gun registration laws. When I asked [Clayton] Cramer [author of Firing Back] about his research, he said, "The laws adopted by the Weimar Republic intended to disarm Nazis and Communists were sufficiently discretionary that the Nazis managed to use them against their enemies once they were in power." In other words, they didn't need to pass additional laws. The Nazis did pass a weapons law in 1938, but that only added restrictions to the previous law, especially for Jews and other "non-citizens."[...]

Cramer further noted that although gun control laws helped the Nazis suppress political dissidents and round up German Jews for extermination, "they weren't the major part of the process." Later, when they invaded Eastern Europe, Cramer says the Nazis did indeed benefit from the inability of their victims to fight back. [...]

Cramer says the Nazis did benefit significantly from gun control in Eastern Europe in terms of "the inability of their victims to fight back." He cites The Holocaust, a book by Leni Yahil (translated by Ina Friedman and Haya Galai, Oxford University Press, 1990), which has a chapter discussing armed resistance by Jews, including rebellions with just a few firearms and a lot of courage. In addition, he talks about Israel Guttman's book, Resistance: The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, which discusses the difficulty the Jews faced in obtaining weapons.

Cramer believes that "if the population of Eastern Europe were as well armed as the average American, the Nazis would have lost much of their military capacity attempting to implement the Holocaust."

Here's what occurred after 1937, according to the Constitutionalist:

Nazi Weapons Act of 1938 (Translated to English)

• Classified guns for "sporting purposes".
• All citizens who wished to purchase firearms had to register with the Nazi officials and have a background check.

• Gave Nazis unrestricted power to decide what kinds of firearms could, or could not be owned by private persons.
 

• The types of ammunition that were legal were subject to control by bureaucrats.
• Juveniles under 18 years could not buy firearms and ammunition.
