There are rare times when this “Trib” reader long used with equanimity to reading right-wing viewpoints and polemics becomes disgusted.
This happened to me, when in the May 17 edition I read Stephen P. Halbrook’s “One cannot argue with history,” in which he claims that in 1938 Nazi Germany passed a gun control law that forbid Jews to have guns. |

So, he admits that Hitler denied arms to Jews in 1938, but calls Halbrook a liar because Halbrook thinks Hitler had a reason for doing so, and instead the author claims that Hitler gained nothing from disarming the Jews?
He is partly right. Armed self defense requires arms, knowledge in their use, and the will to use them.
I believe that some, not all German Jews, would have found that will when the doors to their homes were broken down. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them. — Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States; With a Preliminary Review of the Constitutional History of the Colonies and States before the Adoption of the Constitution [Boston, 1833]. |
