The Rude Pundit - Sorry, Gun Nuts: Hitler Actually Relaxed Most Gun Laws

[alcibiades_mystery]

41. The PAVN were in all respects a modern mechanized army

They should not be confused with the NLF military units in the south, though they were a far better "militia" than anything the gun nuts could throw together (but for cultural and historical reasons).

But yes, they were killed by the tens of thousands. The fantasies of the gun nuts is akin to those of little children who think they can throw themselves clear of a crashing train and land on their feet. The idea that a few armed Jewish communities could have stemmed the Holocaust is as asinine as every gun nut's demented fantasy that he (usually) would heroically stop a mass shooting - an idea usually concocted from the comfort of one's couch, or at best, based on one's expertise at shooting a piece of paper in a controlled environment. The Wehrmacht spent the better part of 1941 running roughshod over fully constituted Soviet armies. But the Einsatzgruppe were going to be slowed by some civilians with rifles? It's as stupid an idea as anyone has ever uttered, but for the gun nuts, it's practically an article of faith. Never mind that nearly every uprising in the occupied territories was viciously put down, including every armed ghetto uprising during the entire war, even late in the war when the Germans were not particularly keen on dealing with that sort of thing. It's incredible that anyone can believe the gun nut nonsense.
