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 American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
