Someone on my FB wall just posted something that showed the WW2 internment of Japanese-Americans as an example of why the populace needs guns, but didn't really elaborate on that.
One of the arguments that I have seen during gun control debates is that Hitler disarmed citizens in Germany before WWII. Therefore the same thing could happen here if the citizens of the US were subject to gun control.
I read an article in the Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/germany-initiates-new-gun-registry/2013/01/19/86bb29f2-60da-11e2-b05a-605528f6b712_story.html?wprss=rss_homepage) that described how Germany is implementing national gun registry database from a gun’s manufacture to a gun’s destruction. There is no outcry from the German populace as there would be here for such regulation. Apparently the German population doesn’t share the same fanaticism that Americans have over gun control, even in light of their history.
Just sayin’.
