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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
