Correction. It worked in Nazi Germany. There was no resistance to the Nazis whatsoever.

But it doesn't take much to get the crowd going, don't even need any facts, just conjecture.


What's with all the gun threads is June National Gun month?

You'd think they'd have figured out by now that if they really want to reduce the number of guns in the hands of Americans, the best thing they could do is shut up about it.
Liberalism is a disease, and diseases often cause people to lose their senses.......especially common sense.

It can go both ways. A bunch of paranoid men holding up in a cabin, acquiring an arsenal of weapons in preparation for some coming "civil war"... could be construed as disease like behavior too. Some might even call it schizophrenia. Especially when they start hearing helicopters that aren't there.

I would hazard a non scientific guess that there are significantly more gun hating liberals that would like nothing more than to see the 2nd amendment gutted than there are paraniod preppers living in cabins waiting for SHTF scenerio.

She will end up catching one, from the very arms she is talking about "regulating".

That is how it works. The entire reason for the 2nd Amendment.
Elected to secure my liberties, not take them one by one.
