[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its controversial because it isn't true.   Minority populations and one minority population in particular could not defend themselves against the Nazi's because of the fascist, nationalist, jingoist sentiment of the majority population in that time and place.  Whole countries with whole armies couldn't defend themselves against it and were taken over.  Armed Jews would not have solved the problem that was Nazism.  A completely ridiculous thing to have said and an entirely warped way to try to oppose gun control.  [/quote]

But one country did defend themselves, and the other countries as well, namely America.  And they brought guns. [/quote]

America was/is geographically isolated from Europe.  While our soldiers did eventually join the fight, they did it on foreign land.  People back in the U.S. were impacted in some ways but there was no imminent threat to our land.  Granted, Pearl Harbor was the exception, but we didn't exactly fight back that day because we were taken by surprise.[/quote]

Not to derail thread, but Pearl Harbor was a surprise to everyone but the FDR administration[/quote]
