Great point. +1000 99th_Monkey Apr 2013 #1

Good one sarisataka Apr 2013 #3

You appear to be proud to exercise you 1st amendment rights. pintobean Apr 2013 #2

Get back to us when a DU post wipes out a room full of kids, and we'll talk. (nt) Paladin Apr 2013 #9

What about books? Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2013 #21

Godwin much? mac56 Apr 2013 #46

You're saying that book *hasn't* inspired mass-murder? Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2013 #54

Oh really, Godwin again? Cleita Apr 2013 #79

Fair enough... Pelican Apr 2013 #147

Mein Kampf didn't kill anyone. Hitler did. Dash87 Apr 2013 #58

A distinction that makes no difference. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2013 #60

One is a book and one is a human. That's a pretty big difference. Dash87 Apr 2013 #64

Hitler didn't physically kill anyone either. He used his word, spoken and written, Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2013 #72

Oh, but he did. First Eva Braun and then himself. n/t Cleita Apr 2013 #80

Many murderous monsters in history didn't physically kill anyone, but Dash87 Apr 2013 #106

They also burned great piles of books from personal libraries and public libraries Hekate Apr 2013 #110

He used the book to kill millions -- after he had them disarmed. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2013 #116

Hey wait a minute. If they were armed in the first place, Crunchy Frog Apr 2013 #143

Perhaps, but that means a civil resistance and perhaps conflict in opposition to Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2013 #150

Ummm. . . Hitler didn't disarm the populace. In fact, the only legislation passed under his regime ET Awful Apr 2013 #148

The Jewish population of Germany was disarmed by the Nazi regime Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2013 #149

Sorry to burst billh58 Apr 2013 #193

Your first link addresses a specific quote that I never cited Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2013 #195

Again, your right-wing paranoia billh58 Apr 2013 #198

do you conceal carry books for your "protection?" frylock Apr 2013 #82

Guns can used for protection from people who read Mein Kampf. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2013 #85

Some people read Mein Kampf for an insight into history as well. Dash87 Apr 2013 #105

"The book itself is not evil, just the man who wrote it (and the ideas within it)" Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2013 #114

You called the book itself bad, but whatever. You compared it to a gun. Dash87 Apr 2013 #123

When? Crunchy Frog Apr 2013 #144

The Warsaw ghetto uprising comes to mind. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2013 #151

Yup... they killed 17 of them Nazis... bobclark86 Apr 2013 #159

Feel free to walk obediently to whatever fate decided for you Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2013 #167

Wait... bobclark86 Apr 2013 #168

"...what? That I support Nazis?" Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2013 #178

Some might. pintobean Apr 2013 #91

As a proud book owner I carry a book with me wherever I go. Hekate Apr 2013 #112

Concealed books? You mean like "book learning"? JVS Apr 2013 #129

Mein Kampf is a book not a gun. Fearless Apr 2013 #154

I've never seen so many people work so hard to be so obtuse. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2013 #115

Obtuse? Thor_MN Apr 2013 #121

No, it just points out how many work so hard to be so dull-witted. Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2013 #125

I'm thinking you may need a mirror... Thor_MN Apr 2013 #133

"Words COULD lead one to commit murder, but the actual murder is committed with a weapon" Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2013 #152

Where did I say that weapons commit murder? Thor_MN Apr 2013 #156

I never maintained books were the mechanical means of killing Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2013 #163

Wow, just wow... Thor_MN Apr 2013 #174

What weapon can kill without first having a mind motivated by the idea of killing? Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2013 #179

Most weapons do not have minds... Thor_MN Apr 2013 #203

Good grief Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2013 #204

Do you ever stop to consider that no one is agreeing with you? Thor_MN Apr 2013 #205

I'm a proud book owner -- got cases and cases of them -- me and mine will be well-defended... Hekate Apr 2013 #108

For you proud knife-owners: know that book owners can be sharp witted, too. Hekate Apr 2013 #146
