The thing that really annoys me about the "Hitler took their guns" argument

[n2doc]

Since most civilized countries have various levels of gun control, if the gun fetishists are correct then why aren't most countries run by fascist dictators? Why aren't we seeing an England and Australia run by mini hits? Or Canada? Or Japan? etc, etc.,

(I know the hitler took their guns story is fake anyway, but the though process that goes into this crap...)

1. They're so paranoid

that the only thing they can think about is the worst possible scenario. "We have guns now...no Hitler therefore if we lose our guns HITLER...it's the only scenario that makes sense!!!"

The paranoid fucks are even dumber in that there hasn't been a concrete effort by anybody to actually instill any kind of confiscation of weapons from even the most paranoid of the loony shits.

3. You and all your logical thinking, and stuff like that...

You're dealing with people for whom logical and facts have all the validity of Monopoly money.

4. Answer: Socialism is Nazism to them.

Those countries are basically run by Hitler now, in their eyes.

And no, those countries are not Socialist, but in their eyes...

5. And yet they want to 'escape' the US for Canada, Australia, etc n/t

7. They're waiting for the UN "go ahead" signal.

Ain't that their logic?

8. They always grab for the Hitler when they want something unreasonable

And we're all Neville Chamberlains for disagreeing. Every conflict is Munich warmed over. They should all be tucked in at night with "Hitler" strawmans.
