[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I disagree that it wouldnt have changed the jews fate. The 2nd amendment is about hunting or burglers etc.. It is to protect against tyranny of the govt. now could we as citizens armed with guns or even high powered firearms stand a chance aginst the us govt or military.. No. But it keeps it all in balance .. Certain other freedoms cant be taken away bc the threat of revolt and no politician wants that. We basicslly are completely vulnerable without the right to own a gun. Iam not a gun owner and most likely never will be but i completely respect others choices to own one and will fight for that right[/quote]

You are welcome to disagree. But you are not supporting your disagreement with a realistic argument. Germany's Jews were less than 1% of the population. Do you think that if they had arms -- the same arms that were available to the other 99% -- it would have made a difference? Several national armies were unable to defeat the Nazis and you think Jewish civilians would have been able to do it?

The government takes away liberties all the time in this country. Guns don't prevent that. Did all those AR-15s in private hands stop the government from engaging in warrantless wiretapping? Have guns prevented the due-process free arrest of American citizens or even the due-process free killing of American citizens? Hardly.

The Branch Davidians were armed to the teeth. How did that work out for them? Just as well as it would have worked for Germany's Jews.

You're right, the Branch Davidians were burned alive by the paranoid Clinton administration. Didn't work out that well for them

Did you ever consider that people would rather go down fighting than not? Let's make this personal. You are educating your child re: stranger/danger. Did you tell your kid to do anything he/sh can to fight back or did you tell him to simply accept his/her fate if he is grabbed by a predator? [/quote]
