(6,655 posts)is showing. What you are claiming is that our system of government is so weak that it would be vulnerable to a dictator taking over and disbanding the Congress and the SCOTUS. That is ridiculous, and we ALL know it.
You, and your "cold dead hands" NRA apologists go on to assert that only you and your AR-15s can prevent such a takeover. Your assertion that the German Jews could have prevented the Holocaust if only they were armed is as disingenuous as it is preposterous.
The reason that hardly anyone in America takes you people seriously is that you run around spouting such inane bullshit, and dragging Hitler from his grave to make your wildly outrageous points. And please don't give me that NRA-standard slight-of-hand that you speak for ALL American gun owners, and that they vote as a bloc. You don't, and they do not. The claim that we need to kiss the collective asses of 20% of American voters (gun owners) is bullshit, because at least half of them agree with gun control -- including registration -- as shown by recent polls.
Go on and have the last word, but the NRA-inspired myth that Hitler was able to kill so many people because he disarmed the Jews is just that: an NRA-inspired myth aimed making people afraid and suspicious of their government in order to sell more guns.
See ya Bubba...
