I guess I should have first asked if you believe the holocaust occurred. If you don't believe it happened, let me know so I can ask a different question.
The Jews had guns, yes, even in the Warsaw ghetto ……. fat lot of good it did them.

Well, as you sit there losing more of your freedoms to go about your lives as you did just a short couple of decades ago, with all your wee guns doing nothing whatsoever to stop, but actually contributing to the problem by leaps and bounds ……. where and when do you see this all coming back to singing Kumbaya as a unified choir?

You used to be able to enjoy so many 'taken for granted' freedoms of movement …. now your kiddies cannot even go to school without wearing an armoured backpack. Firearms, like it or not, are the enabler of that conundrum and doing nothing whatsoever to mitigate it.

Perhaps you could do a little research instead of spreading misinformation to support you misplaced agenda. God knows we have more than enough misinformation these days.

Since 1982, 74 Percent Of Mass Shooters Obtained Their Guns Legally

The Freedom Caucus, born out of the WE THE PEOPLE'S MOVEMENT are the hope of WE THE PEOPLE.

All fractions of the TOTALITARIAN MOVEMENT, the Communists, the Democrats, the Globalists have joined in the fight together .. they want a ONE PARTY SYSTEM to rule us just like in China.. if the American people don't realize this, we will be all globalist citizens with no country, no history, no Constitution, No gun rights, no civil rights, no GOD GIVEN RIGHTS.

If you deny this, you are blind.. you are foolish, and you are supporting it .
Bwah hahahahah! Delusional post of the day.

Two things: A car's primary purpose, unlike a gun, is not to inflict bodily harm on another living thing.

Also, cars are taken away from people if they commit crimes with them.

They are fighting for their lives, their future and whether they can be deported to Chinese Concentration Camps.

At some point I'll bet they wish they had a 2nd amendment, a well armed Militia and the ability to defend themselves against the boot of the Communist.

Could that ever happen here in the US?

Yes, yes it could. And that's why we need the 2nd and our guns. This is exactly why our FF gave us the 2nd and the right to bear arms. They knew there was a possibility one day a Government would try to take away our Democratic freedoms and possibly ship us off "Re-education Camps".

Would you ever fight for your freedom?
If the Hong Kong demonstrators had been waving AR-15s, the Chinese Army would be hosing them out of their tank threads by now.

You people have no idea how the world works.

Really? Apparently it saved some Jews.

I guess the lives of a few Jews are irrelevant to you, but I'm guessing it was extremely important to their descendants.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Ghetto_Uprising

The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (Yiddish: אױפֿשטאַנד אין װאַרשעװער געטאָ‎; Polish: powstanie w getcie warszawskim; German: Aufstand im Warschauer Ghetto) was the 1943 act of Jewish resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto in German-occupied Poland during World War II to oppose Nazi Germany's final effort to transport the remaining ghetto population to Majdanek and Treblinka concentration camps. After the Grossaktion Warsaw of summer 1942, in which more than a quarter of a million Jews were deported from the ghetto to Treblinka and murdered, the remaining Jews began to build bunkers and smuggle weapons and explosives into the ghetto. The left-wing Jewish Combat Organization (ŻOB) and right-wing Jewish Military Union (ŻZW) formed and began to train. A small resistance effort to another roundup in January 1943 was partially successful and spurred the Polish groups to support the Jews in earnest.

I can buy a car and never get any permission from the government.

I can buy a Jeep, tow it to the ranch, and drive it there for years without any government permissionion.

But go ahead and pretend you know much about it.
