It Can't Happen Here? Gun Registration Gone Bad
« on: June 25, 2019, 06:52:36 AM »
Every single Democrat candidate seeking their party's nomination for president of the United Staqtes advocates some form of registration/confiscation/ban. Does anyone think they won't attempt to implement those policy positions if they are elected?

Quote of the day—Stephen P. Halbrook

In 1931, Weimar authorities discovered plans for a Nazi takeover in which Jews would be denied food and persons refusing to surrender their guns within 24 hours would be executed. They were written by Werner Best, a future Gestapo official. In reaction to such threats, the government authorized the registration of all firearms and the confiscation thereof, if required for “public safety.” The interior minister warned that the records must not fall into the hands of any extremist group.

In 1933, the ultimate extremist group, led by Adolf Hitler, seized power and used the records to identify, disarm, and attack political opponents and Jews. Constitutional rights were suspended, and mass searches for and seizures of guns and dissident publications ensued. Police revoked gun licenses of Social Democrats and others who were not “politically reliable.”

During the five years of repression that followed, society was “cleansed” by the National Socialist regime. Undesirables were placed in camps where labor made them “free,” and normal rights of citizenship were taken from Jews. The Gestapo banned independent gun clubs and arrested their leaders. Gestapo counsel Werner Best issued a directive to the police forbidding issuance of firearm permits to Jews.

I watched Shindlers List recently and in the beginning they had the years of how stuff happened.

First was REGISTRATION.  They showed all the Jews standing in line saying their names to guys sitting at tables
Then later, the Jews were moved into 1 area of the city
Then they were taken from those areas and forced into trains to concentration camps

Hard to find and move people if you don't know where they are (registration).

Harder to do almost anything to people deemed "political opponents" (aka "the basket of deplorables... They’re racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic — Islamophobic — you name it. They are irredeemable.") if you don't take their guns away first.

"It's a public health crisis." Yeah, right.

It's difficult to paint that possibility while we are in a state of peace & tranquility. We go to work M-F comfortably and in security. We come home to our families. Eat and sleep in security. Nothing to worry about. We've been doing this for decades. Comparing registration to Jews concentration camps? You are a  paranoid, gun-clinging deplorable.

I wouldn't say comparing the 2, but 1 may lead to the other.  Registration can lead to confiscation.  There's that Asian rep from TX that she grew up in China where her town had a confiscation by the government.  What followed were executions.  She vows to never let that happen again.  IIRC, this was the 70's. I'm sure people in the village went to work daily, then returned home and slept good and ate food.

Recently, Venuszuala. Took guns away, years later socialism, followed by starving people vs. the government uprising. 6 year span I think.

I'm guessing you are being "sarcastic", but just in case...

True, Hitler doesn't use the term "public health crisis", and the quote is of questionable provenance, but still...



She oversaw both Ruby Ridge and Waco...



This one leaves out several "minor" instances of democide ("political opponents", of course) post registration/confiscation...

Try selling that to your typical Mililani soccer family and that Hitler statement is unfounded.
Yes. I was being sarcastic. I am tired of explaining things to my small circle of friends. But I can see why they don't take the time to understand things. They have different lives & perspectives. They have families. Everything is peachy. Except when one of their homes was burglarized and then tires slashed. My friend was irritated with me when I mentioned that he should take proactive measures as there was a suspect with a knife on your property. He didn't want to hear it. He didn't want to mention that fact to his wife. So they installed a whole bunch of cams. I helped install but they didn't take my advice on buying IP cams instead. That's another story.
