"In response to the March 22 letter, 'Don’t allow U.S. leaders to disarm our citizens,' Stephen Halbrook is not a Second Amendment 'scholar,' but a spokesman for the [NRA's] point of view."
"All of his writings argue against any kind of regulation of firearms. His argument that the Jews, who couldn’t buy guns, were defenseless because of that is faulty. The roundup of Jews who were sent to concentration camps was committed by the Waffen SS, the toughest arm of a tough army."
"... How could Jews, if they had a pistol or rifle, defend against battle-tested men, Panzer tanks, Stuka dive bombers, etc? The idea is ridiculous and insulting to the Jewish people." ...

| Not only are the historically literate aware of the Jews defending themselves in isolated incidences during WWII, but even today our govt is somewhat more civilized due to the fact that there's a 10's of millions of peaceful gun owners. |

| Better to have 10's of millions of peaceful gun owners coexisting with a civil govt than to be disarmed and as helpless as the Jews during WWII. |

| Obviously, the writer of this letter is not a scholar or student of history or he would know that over 50 million people were exterminated during the 20th century after their government passed gun control and eliminated their ability to defend themselves. And that included the Jews under the Nazi government. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
